I don't remember if it was THAT incident, or a similar incident (because I remembered as taking off, not landing) where a Naval officer initially indicated that "rushing her through training to be the first combat pilot" could have been a factor, then the narrative got changed and that story disappeared.
The case, as I recall, was not that 'women can't fly combat aircraft', but that the rush to get her through training, despite a number of indicators she wasn't quite ready, could have been a factor in her death.
