    Inspiring Story - A Talk with John Marsh, son of WASP Marie Barrette Marsh, 43-w-7
    Jun 23 2023
    Welcome to the Adventures In The Sky Podcast! In this episode, I have the chance to speak one-on-one with John Marsh, whose mom is WASP Marie Barrette Marsh, class 43-7.First, a BIG thank you to my guest, John Marsh, for sharing many wonderful stories about his mom Marie and her WASP friends. My few favorite segments include the following:
    • "But one of the stories they told was flying in as a pilot, you'd call the airports, 'Hey, I'm 10 miles north inbound. Request landing instructions.' Well, they did that in the B-17. After doing it once or twice, the tower came on the radio and said, 'Would you ladies get off the radio? We're trying to get a B-17 in.' It never occurred to them the ladies would be flying.
    • "I think women make better pilots than men. I think they're more careful. When you're flying the airplane, you don't force this thing. You don't manhandle it…. You're gentle on the stick…."
