    More than 70 years after serving in World War Two, American female pilots have finally won the right to be buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
    The cemetery is where US presidents, honoured military personnel and national heroes are buried.
    President Barack Obama has recently signed a law that allows the pilots from the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) to buried in the famous cemetery.
