Women Aren't Supposed to Fly: The Memoirs of a Female Flight Surgeon
by Harriet Hall

When Harriet Hall graduated from medical school in 1970 and entered the Air Force, she was in a distinct minority. As the second woman ever to do an Air Force internship, she had to fight for acceptance. Even a patient's 3 year old daughter proclaimed, "Oh, Daddy! That's not a doctor, that's a lady." She was refused a residency, paid less than her male counterparts, couldn't live on base, and couldn't claim her husband as a dependent because he wasn't a wife. After six years as a general medical officer in Franco's Spain, she became a family practice specialist and a flight surgeon, doing everything from delivering babies to flying a B-52. She earned her pilot's license despite being told "Women aren't supposed to fly," and eventually retired from the Air Force as a full colonel. She is witness to an era when society was beginning to accept women in traditionally male jobs but didn't entirely like the idea yet. A somewhat warped sense of humor kept her afloat, and it spices the stories she tells about her own experiences and the patients and colleagues she encountered.

So eine B-52 ist schon was ordentliches.

Ein nettes Foto. Ein kleines bißchen größer als der Lanz Bulldog. Echt was für Feinschmecker. 

Ich glaub, wenn die Harriet Hall auf dem Flugplatz aufgetaucht ist, sind die Rekruten zur Eissäule erstarrt und die Maulwürfe in Ohnmacht gefallen. Die B-52 ist das größte Kriegsflugzeug der Welt. Ob inzwischen eine Antonow oder eine andere fliegende Kiste den Titel übernommen hat, ist egal. Wer als Frau so ein Ding fliegt, der nimmt es mit Jedem auf. Aber locker!
