There were two female pilot groups in WWII, the WAFS & the WASP:\n\nWomens Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron\nWomens AirForce Service Pilots\n\n\nThe WAFS were a very small band of female pilots headed up by Nancy Harkness Love to ferry bombers to England. They were the first organized group of lady aviators in WWII. They had 28 members and were founded in 1942.\n\nThe WASP were a much larger effort, copying the idea of the WAFS, headed by Jaqueline Cochran founded 1943. There 1,074 WASP. \n\nAll but 1 WAFS pilot became a WASP. The WAFS are often referred to as "The Originals" amongst the group.\n\nRead about them here:\n\nWAFS-\nhttp://www.wpafb.af.mil/museum/history/wasp/wasp2.htm\n\nWASP-\nhttp://www.wasp-wwii.org\nhttp://wwii-women-pilots.org/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_Airforce_Service_Pilots

we dropped lots and lots and lots of bombs on japan, too many to count or even name each one...so i take you are talking about the atomic ones named: fatman and little boy\n\nLittle Boy was dropped from a B-29 bomber piloted by U.S. Army Air Force Col. Paul W. Tibbets. Tibbets had named the plane Enola Gay after his mother the night before the atomic attack.\n\nMajor Charles W. Sweeney piloted the B-29, #77 that dropped Fat Man. After the nuclear mission, #77 was christened Bockscar after its regular Command Pilot, Fred Bock.\n\non an ineresting note, one reason Hiroshima and Nagasaki were picked as locations was due in large part to the fact that we had already destroyed much of every other city through fire-bombing.

The inability of the Luftwaffe to replace pilots, but also at the end of WWII the Germans had more fighters than the allies did, but they did not have the av-gas to fly them.  There are reports of airfields that had upwards of 50 jets, ME262's, and the pilots, but no way to fuel the aircraft for flight.  Also the insistence of the German high command to turn all of the newest and best fighters into dual role for air and ground attack

Levit, Britain couldnt hold The germans off at all???? three words for you my friend BATTLE OF BRITAIN, the british did just that they held the germans off thanx to THE FEW, the men and women of RAF fighter command many of whom were not much older than thier late teens and early twenty's, after defeat in the BATTLE of BRITAIN the germans turned thier attentions to Russia and got thier arses kicked, plz do some re-search on these things before you open your mouth and insert your foot in it.
