Manage episode 440819738 series 3442032
This week's roundup of stories is a happy accident. Today Angie and Theresa bring you two very different stories from WWII. Theresa kicks it off with the Night Witches, the only female combat pilots from WWII. These badasses are from Russia and you're going to love them.
Angie starts by sharing the history of the US paying its soldiers with booze, then explains how the attitude toward alcohol shifted. Somehow she ends up telling the story of the United States retrofiting a cement barge into an ice cream flotilla.
This episode pairs well with:
Aviatrix – Beryl Markham
Tootsie Rolls at the Chosin Reservoir in the Korean War
