www.flygirls.org Wonderful tribute site to the WASP-Women’s Air Force Service Pilots of World War II. Over 25,000 outstanding and patriotic women responded to the call to join the first female flight training program in the US. Of more than 1,800 selected, 1,102 earned their wings. WASPs flew 60 million miles ferrying airplanes. Towed targets for live gunnery practice for guys on the ground. These brave women tested new and repaired airplanes. They were finally recognized on March 10, 2010, with the Congressional Gold Medal at an uplifting and moving ceremony in Washington DC.  At that time, fewer than 300 WASPs were alive to know their efforts and military service are appreciated.
