>If you can find women fighting air-to-air combat in Spits, P-51s, or P-47s, and winning, you'd have history on your side. If you said that women weren't strong enough to fly these specific aircraft in combat missions, we would be having a different argument. I don't doubt that it would be very hard to find women who would have the strength to pilot some WW2 aircraft in combat missions. That is not what you wrote. It may well be the case that the Spitfire is an example of such aircraft, but the Yak is not, as evidenced by the provided links. But if you prefer to fight straw men all day long, that's your privilege.
