In August, Andy Mamedoff became the first American promoted to flight officer, and was transferred to the 133 Squadron. When his fellow pilot Amelia Earhart congratulated him, he acknowledged the she should have been the one who received the promotion. She didn't disagree as such, though she also admitted that 133 Squadron would have not taken her seriously because of her gender.[1]
