ata golden raf waaf wings ww2

When people think of the Second World War, few know about, or have even heard of the ATA, The Air Transport Auxilary. The service that freed the young men for fighters and bombers in the RAF, took on the older men, foreigners, those who were not considered fit for the RAF, and the most contraversial of all, Women.

Whoever heard of a woman flying a Spitfire, or a Lancaster Bomber, but, they did. During the course of the war the brave women of the ATA overcame the criticisms, jokes, refusals and sheer disbelief to take to the skies in service to Britain, flying every British Aircraft from the factories, from the airfields, all over Britain and, even towards the end of the war, France, wherever the Royal Airforce needed them.

This is the story of six of these amazing young women, who answered their countries' call and spread their wings, their Golden Wings.All Rights Reserved

She Walks Among Us by ecooney

Do you know anyone with a crippling, morbid fear of flying? Well, you do now. I have a theory: An event one spring day in the town cemetery at the dawn of my existence had everything to do with planting a stark view of life and death which led, eventually, to a profound mistrust of infernal contraptions that carried you up into the sky. Because of that profound mistrust, vast portions of my prime were spent (and misspent) on long journeys aboard trains. A trip that would have been a blip in time by plane was an entirely different deal on the train—days and nights, not hours. Veritable miniature eternities. This led to encounters, adventures, dilemmas and situations that could only happen on a train—and not merely because of the train’s comparative slowness, but because train people are an entirely different breed of human from airplane people (or bus people, for that matter, and that’s another story). Trains are so....well....so existential. This stark view of life and death, which also had plenty to do with me lobbying my mother (in vain) to get busy on building a fallout shelter in our basement, had some stiff opposition. To be an American child in the 50s was to open one’s innocent eyes on the post-WW2 decade, an era jumping with progress,plenitude, dazzling crazed optimism and fun. Nightmare glimpses of atrocities from that big bad war we missed by the skin of our teeth bobbed to the surface occasionally, sobering us and reminding us of our aberrant good luck, and in my case, whispering that innocence was but a thin, thin membrane, that this world I’d been born into was a seething, infinitely complicated place, and I’d better pay attention. But let’s have some fun! Here we go, with Bad Boys. What’s rock ‘n’ roll but the shot heard ‘round the world?

She was wherever the team needed her: in the clinic, making breakfast, helping with papers and on some occasions, a flight nurse. She was quite close with all those in her crew, always joking around with those she knew, and greeting those she didn't hoping to make the new recruits feel more at home, if you can even call it that. Welcome to the pit of hell Hitler has created.

True Love's Seventh Kiss by NathanielWilhelm

True love's first kiss has never been so complicated nor had such high stakes. The Seven most powerful Gods of this wicked world somehow managed to piss off a spectating trickster god trapped there. His fury eventually boiled over and he razed the world with his power. They pleaded for mercy and gambled everything on a game, a very strange game. They would turn back time and choose 7 virtuous maidens (As best they could) these 7 Virgin "Maidens"(villainesses) would then have to win the heart of one Gentleman selected by the Trickster God(the former spectator) and share true love's first kiss in order to prevent the end of the world(Pissing off the spectator god again). With Everything on the line, Marion Cliffgard must put his faith in the shadiest (Probably Evil) Trickster in this otherworld he has been transported to. He must find a way to save his family one by one through sickness and in health. And somehow overcome his pre-ordained tragic fate at the hands of those Villainesses who are now trying to romance him. In a world without heroes Marion and his Patron God: Cavalier Corsair, will have a long list of Karma to deal out on the world and the villains in it. Not by being the heroes but by being better villains. Airships, Dragons, magic, magic mushrooms, love, tension, tragedy, Karmic justice, and comedic revelry. This is one high stakes fantasy game show you won't want to miss an episode of.

. *. ⋆ Eloise Barlowe is a 24-year-old woman amid the terrors of the ongoing war- World War 2, which she found herself heavily involved in frighteningly fast. She's a nurse, steady with her hands, skilled in medical knowledge, and was soon enough stationed at the 305th Bomb Group of the 8th Air Force, where she worked for countless months- that was until she was quickly transferred to the 100th Bomb Group who was in dire need of more medical assistance. In particular, Flight Nurses. There, she meets Major John "Bucky" Egan, who she finds is one of the most annoying men she's ever met- though, the more time she spends with him, the harder she finds herself falling for him. The only question is if the two will live to see their blossoming romance grow as the harsh war rages on.

. *. ⋆ Diana Holmes is a mechanic- she's an aircraft technician of the 100th Bomb Group of the 8th Air Force during World War 2. She's the only woman mechanic on the sight, making her easy to spot. It made her well-known amongst the men and women of Thorpe Abbots. It made her an easy topic for Robert "Rosie" Rosenthal to bring up when he was placed at Thorpe Abbots. It made it easy for him to get to know her, for him to talk with her smoothly as she worked on his plane, his soft smile igniting her own. It also made the two become close quicker than either of them could have anticipated- it caused romantic feelings that neither of them could ignore to corrupt their minds, something new and exciting sprouting through the thick-concreted walls of war.

The Voyage of Admiral Hedwick and the Crew of the Landseeker by baconator636

A group of men and women go on a quest to find the miracle isles, a chain of islands that were rumored, but never found. Will they find what they are looking for? Will they run out of supplies and starve? Will they find love? War? Life? Death? Or will they simply give up? Join Hedwick on his journey to see what happens. (Disclaimer: this is meant for readers above the age of fourteen, if your younger, I won't stop you, but there is language and violence in it. I will not put up trigger warnings, nor will I take down any part of my story due to anyone's feelings, if you don't like my work, tough nuts. If something here offends you, grow up and click away. There isn't much offensive content, and this is in no way political, but I know the internet, and the social justice feminazis can always find something to be mad at. So there is my disclaimer, have fun.)
