It is my own observation that the use of female fighter pilots -
combat pilots - came out of necessity during LPOG. It was highly unusual, since the only pilots available when the entire compliment of fighter pilots went down were uniformly female shuttle pilots - and that entire compliment of
fighter pilots were male.
This is reflective of our own prohibition against women in any kind of combat role.
However, when push came to shove the woment proved to be just as effective as the men in combat situations.
Funny how that works. And funny how, 30 years later, we're seeing women in harms way during combat operations. In another 30 years women combat pilots will be commonplace.
