Northeastern Railroad Depot at Charleston, South Carolina

from U.S. National Archives

• Steve Woolf said:

  Wilmington Depot, filled with powder and explosives, caught on fire and blew up, killing 160, mostly the poor, and mostly women and children who were scavenging after the Rebels fled. This was three times as many as those killed during the 587 days of Quincy Gilmore's siege.

• Grant Mishoe said:

  Children set the fire which found its way to stacked keg powder resulting in a detonation that, as the newspaper read. "left body parts hanging in the trees".

  Recruiting for the WAAAF began on 15 March 1941 and on the 17th of March the first 19 airwomen reported for duty. Ten of these were teleprinter operator trainees. Throughout 1941 recruiting was quite slow. However, when Japan entered the war in December 1941 there was a greater push for the employment of women. By the end of 1941 some 1500 women were serving in the WAAAF. At its peak in October 1944 there were 18 667 officers and airwomen in the WAAAF. By the end of the war 27 000 women had served in the WAAAF making it the largest of the three women’s services. The value of the work and the skills of the WAAAF during a period when thousands of men needed to be released for operational duty overseas and in Australia, which itself was at risk, encouraged the formation of the Women’s Royal Australian Air Force (WRAAF) in 1951. In 1977 the WRAAF was disbanded, and women were absorbed into the mainstream RAAF. It would take until June 1988 before the first female Air Force Pilots graduated and the first female fighter jet pilots didn’t graduate until December 2017. Now there are no restrictions on employment of females in the Air Force, including all pilot positions. Source: www.slq.qld.gov.au/blog/women-who-answered-call
