I think the key to the meaning of this song is the title. This are 52 - girls. B52 was the name of a plane, but the music group B52 was not directly named after the plane, but after a special hairstyle looking like a beehive. And this hairstyle was also called B52 or short 52 hairstyle because the front/axis of the plane looked like a beehive too. The two girls of the group name themsleves in the song because they had this beehive hairstyle and i guess the rest of the 18 girls (including Jackie -O) named had it too.

This is the most likely explanation to me. The band are more likely to write a song about Women that rocked the beehive than any of the other suggestions here, IMO.
