Censored on Final Approach, a tribute to the World War II Women Air Force Service Pilots. During the war, more than 1,800 young female pilots from all over the United States quit their jobs, left their homes and paid their ways to Texas to learn how to fly “the Army way.” Censored on Final Approach is the story of four women who directed training missions at Camp Davis, N.C., where the real battle was on the ground.
