Fair to say your ratio is probably 100:1 but you still have them.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div>While it is true we only saw a snapshot so there could have been female pilots somewhere. High-ranking female in operations does not equal them as pilots. I can point to many women who pre 1980 achieve high-rank operations areas in the US military, none were combat pilots (or in any sort of combat unit--that does not mean none saw combat, war has a nasty habit of not following the 'rules'). I agree with Cassandra due to the time the original was made women pilots were probably not even considered. That said, I also agree that just because we did not see them when we were only exposed to a very small part of the "story" does not mean they did not exist.<br/><br/>Let's consider the source Japan, despite a long history of kick-ass females in anime did not issue a call for female combat pilots  (http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2015/11/11/national/japan-to-issue-first-ever-recruiting-call-for-female-fighter-pilots/#.WIPF4BsrJPY)until 2015.<br/><br/>Anyway, if we can play either I'll have to think.
