Nellie struck sparks in my memory. My father was an aircraft crew chief in WWII and spent most of the war in Canada preparing aircraft for the shuttle flight to Britain. Many of these were lend-lease aircraft. Dad had a few stories about that period in his life, and he mentioned that a lot of the pilots her prepared the planes for were women. His favorite plane was the P-61 black widow. He also mentioned that when you ran the engines up to full power on a B-25 it felt like an elevator going down as the suspension took up the slack.
Thanks Wes for bringing some good memories back to me about my dad.

I agree - she would be on my "short list" of minor characters deserving her own book. Admittedly, while she would take us away from 2000-2002 it's in an opposite direction than most new stories will be taking.
