Meet the women who flew Spitfires during the war
Joy Lofthouse and Mary Ellis are both in their 90s. During the war they flew hundreds of Spitfires and Lancaster Bombers as part of the Air Transport Auxiliary.
The 麻豆社's Paddy O'Connell spoke to both women to hear their stories. Mary Ellis told Paddy she "flew about a thousand different airplanes" during the war.
