Margaret Ann Ayers
Civilian
466th BG Historian
Object Number - UPL 42485 - American Red Cross Girls Kris Perry and Margaret Ayers at Attlebridge. 1944
"Margaret ran the Aero Club with a firm grip. She handled unruly boys and an English staff with diplomacy. She could wheedle transportation from a stingy motor corps officer, fresh eggs and powdered ice cream from a tough mess sergeant and a smile from a worried commander. She did our marketing with shillings in way that would bring smiles to a Red Cross fund raiser back home. " - Mary Carol Leeds
