As WWII is being fought in two fronts, the US Army decides to accept and train women pilots to help in the war effort. Vivian Lynn is seen steering her plane into the base. She is late in reporting, something that will not be tolerated. Vivian is told to toe the line, or else, by the stern woman in charge, Iris Keening.

Vivian finds out that life at the base is not exactly what she thought it would be. Being outspoken and bold, didn't make her popular with the men, but she saw right through Wolf, the man that feels threatened because of her intelligence. To make matters worse, Wolf's brother, Frank, falls in love with her.

Many years later, the remains of a plane wreck is brought over to the attention of the Cold Case team. They identify Vivian Lynn among the pieces in whatever is left of the wreckage. They go back to the material that they uncover to begin their investigation. One thing is clear, Vivian's death is suspicious because of what comes out in the many interviews with the people that are still alive.

The team begins suspecting foul play was involved in Vivian's accident. There are two women still alive who were with Vivian during those years, and Iris Keening, the officer in charge is interviewed. Frank and Wolf appear to be holding the truth about the incident. It turns out to be a surprise when Lilly gets to the bottom of the mystery.

Michael Learned has a small, but pivotal role in the episode. Same could be said about Deanna Dunagan and Mary Jo Catlett, all from the war years. Among the men, Newell Alexander and John Aniston, are seen as the older Frank and Wolf James. Chris Fisher directed this chapter that was written by Denise The.

I understand the story in the Episode is Fictitious. Vivian's Pep Talk toward the End to the Woman who later crashes (due to mixed lines with sugar) would be perfect in the Movie. Research to find out if maybe how much in this Episode was true? Was there a "Book" written by one of these women that should be recommended reading? Especially by mothers to have their sons read?

I am (Not GOP) But Conservative, and what Obama did for these women should had been more News Worthy. It should had motivated the Movies Making People to make a Movie about these women, and how tough it was for them. With all the Protests going on r/t Equality ... a movie about these women should be screaming to be made. There were Many Women (of all Cultures) who were pilot trained back then, even add that to this Movie. I am sure there is Hidden History about this back then. Today we are seeing so much r/t history that was naught taught to us we are finding out. Today what we are learning that is needed to know, is acted, and Spoken with a lot of Negative Attitude, and we need that ... but we all know if all we get is information like that it can get overwhelming. We need also information on how to do the right things.

I am at the age, when Movie Makers, and Actors made movies (that pushed changes / Training w/o seen as learning by the Audience) for free. It has been probably over a Decade since something like that has happened. Animation / CGI is almost at the Level of real ... This can be done without anyone leaving home.

This episode should be watched by any WW2 Historian / Buffs. See how close was this???

(Update as of 20 Jul 2021) On Tubi, they have "We Served To: Women Pilots of W2 - The Untold Story" a Documentary; but still searching for a "Movie"
