Perfect Match
Peggy went about her work on the base and minded her own business, she would soon come across Billie’s dad who was stationed in the propeller section on the base. Before she knew it she had met Billie, from the first moment sparks were in the air. Peggy defied the gender norms of the times as she wanted more for herself than just to land a wealthy husband. She wanted to be involved in protecting her country and did this by combatting tough mechanical issues on the daily.
Courtship As It Should Be
Peggy and Billie had not met at a party or a social gathering but rather, very romantically, they had become pen pals. In these times this was a major communication device and a popular way for men to court and flirt with women in their own way. Let’s remember in this time there was no social media, no sliding into DM’s nor Facebook messaging or even Skyping. Mail was the best and only way to communicate across distances.
