Ginger Maguire, nicknamed Sky Girl, was the star of several World War II aviation adventures, though was apparently not 'the sharpest knife in the drawer'. She was constantly in search of a husband as well as a career in aviation. She eventually managed to get a job, ferrying military equipment around the Pacific. Although she could fly a plane, just not very well, so she often crashed planes and caused property damage. Post-war, Sky Girl got a job as a waitress at an airport cafe and dyed her hair blonde, but still continued to have aerial adventures.
