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.
