Original – Short film about Women Airforce Service Pilots by the U.S. military to be viewed by "service men only", part of the Army–Navy Screen Magazine film series

Reason: Uncomfortable to hear the narration but it gives a nice glimpse into the societal perception of women in the military at the time period

Support Wow. That is... of its time. Almost uncomfortably so, especially the bit where the narrator all-but-encourages the soldiers to look at the women's breasts during the exercise scene. Amongst others. But it IS useful in many ways as a document of its time. Adam Cuerden ^(talk)_{Has about 7% of all FPs} 11:24, 26 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The article on which this is most prominently linked, Army–Navy Screen Magazine, is in sad shape with no sources. Can this be fixed? —David Eppstein (talk) 00:46, 27 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
