Para (III)

Every jumper remembers the day they got their wings. Yet for over 60 years, this woman who jumped from 300 ft into France during WWII as a resistance fighter was refused her parachute wings. Pearl Witherington was refused her wings on the grounds that she had only made 4 jumps, instead of the standard 5 to pass the para course. The men who trained with her were given an extra training jump so that they could get their wings.

I think its pretty obvious that anyone who jumps from 300 ft into an operational theatre of war as a resistance fighter is entitled to wear their parachute wings. If she can't wear wings, who can? Every rule has exceptions, right? Vive la guerrière.
