    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

    And on the ballast office, the time ball is down, another Ulysses moment, Episode VIII, "Lestrogonians": Mr Bloom moved forward, raising his troubled eyes. Think no more about that. After one. Time ball on the ballast office is down. Dunsink time. Fascinating little book that is of sir Robert Ball's. Parallax. I never exactly understood. There's a priest. Could ask him. Par it's Greek: parallel, parallax. Met him pike hoses she called it till I told her about the transmigration. O rocks!
