The Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) in England needed pilots, perfect for the young, experienced flyer.
Vi Milstead Warren was one of only four Canadian women in the ATA.
They were part of the 1,152 men and 166 women assigned to fly brand-new aircraft fresh off factory lines to military sites in England and Europe.
Milstead easily acquired the Class IV ferrying rating for twin-engine aircraft, earning the rank of first officer.
