FlyZolo Team Update – Day 57
Zara has been in #Nome, #Alaska, for 13 days now πŸŒ¨β˜ƒοΈπŸ’¨, so let us tell you about It. Did you know it played a crucial role during WWII?

In March 1941 President Roosevelt signed the LEND-LEASE ACT with the Allies trying to avoid shipping war equipment via the Pacific Ocean. Instead, more than 8000 aircraft where shuttled through Nome to the Soviet Union, an ally against the Nazi regime. 

Ferry pilots, including #WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots), picked up the ✈️ at the Bell factory at Niagara Falls, NY and flew them to Great Falls, Montana. Once there, the female ferry #pilots, handed off the #planes to male pilots who flew the aircraft on across Canada to Alaska. Soviet pilots, many of them women, would take delivery of the aircraft at Fairbanks and Nome and fly them, via the Alaska-Siberia route, over the Bering Strait to the Soviet Union front. 

WASP pilots were taking up tasks in order to free up the male pilots for combat duties. They ferried aircraft, were test pilots but also took over tow-target (✈️🎯😳😬) and tracking mission flying. The last are considered to be a couple of the most difficult and tedious jobs for pilots in the air force.

The efforts and the determination of many WASP to place themselves on equal footing with male pilots set the foundation for the enhanced rights that women enjoy in American society today. (…)

This will serve as #inspiration to future generations so that they can know of these women’s dedication, perseverance, and ultimate acts of #heroism. Thanks to the novel efforts of these brave women, our daughters and granddaughters are freer to pursue their dreams and fully develop their talents. The WASP and Soviet women pilots of WWII paved the way for girls and young women to know that whatever their goals and aspirations, The Sky’s the Limit.”

Today, 11th October, was proclaimed by the #UN as "INTERNATIONAL GIRL CHILD DAY". A day to empower ✨ and πŸ”Ž amplify the voices of #girls around the World: 

"The International Day of the Girl Child focuses attention on the need to address the challenges girls face and to promote girls’ empowerment and the fulfilment of their human rights. (...)

Every day, girls are breaking boundaries and barriers posed by stereotypes and exclusion. (...) They are tackling issues like child marriage, education inequality, violence, climate justice, and inequitable access to healthcare. As entrepreneurs, innovators and initiators of global movements, girls are creating a world that is relevant for them and future generations. (...) 
Girls are proving they are unstoppable." 

Go Zara, Go #Girl!!! So proud of you! 🀩😺
