The Woman's Division of the Royal Canadian Air Force of 1943 is 9000 strong, an able corps trained for service at home and overseas. We gain a glimpse of their arduous physical training and their work in a variety of fields. Their aim is to prepare themselves for an important role in the flying field after the war, when Canada's civil air power will prove an essential factor in the air communications of peace-time civilization.
