Renée Zellweger is leading the cast of an exciting TV series – with a historical twist
According to the synopsis,will “tell the story of those that established a clandestine all-female US Airforce programme called the WASPs to battle Hitler from home”.of WASP leader Jackie Cochran, who will be played by Zellweger. Cochran was a pioneer of women’s aviation throughout her long-standing career as a pilot and became one of the most prominent racing pilots of her generation.
As well as setting numerous records , she was also the first woman to break the sound barrier in May 1953. Her time as the director of the WASPs from 1943 to 1944 saw her employ approximately 1,000 American women in non-combat roles. A mean feat in any age, but more so given the misogynistic attitudes to women working during the 40s.
