In an attempt to balance "The Early Days" we felt there was a need to document the arrival of Airwomen at 2 Wing in 1953. While the amount of detail available is limited, we feel that we will be able to gather more information as the word spreads to those Airwomen who served at Grostenquin. Can you help us out by providing detail pertaining to the "Original Draft" of Airwomen that arrived at Grostenquin in March 1953?
