  I feel so humbled and inspired by these early pilots especially the fortitude of the women in those times.

  HMM.. What's Vita-Lick Ltd.?
  
  "Vitalick was the original livestock supplement in Australia and has been assisting in livestock nutrition since the 1920." according to the current (2009) supplier, Rational Nutrition Pty. Ltd.
  
  (ref. www.pdbower.com.au/vitalick.htm )
