Meanwhile, the B-29 was under development in the US. Built almost entirely by women, men refused to fly it citing safety concerns.

So Paul Tibbets, (who went on to drop Little Boy on Hiroshima) taught a crew of women to fly the aircraft.

The logic being; if women can fly it safely, then surely men can too.
