I enjoyed the original, and a sequel would be nice... but an
American black
female pilot, just
six years after WWII? We Americans were neither so enlightened about women
or POC in that era, to put someone who was both in a position where she'd have the access, skills, or authority to step into this! Not up front, anyway. We're still trying to keep hidden/deny just how much women
really did do during WWII, period!
They'll have to be really clever to come up with a believable way to make this happen, or I'll have a great deal of difficulty suspending disbelief. It'll just be too blatantly an effort to appeal to the non-white population. :/
Now, if they set it in, say, even the mid-60s... I'd have a much easier time buying into it being a black woman. That era was just full of women and POC breaking barriers, so this'd fit right in. Or another nationality, an immigrant, maybe; other nations were way ahead of America in breaking racial lines.
