Group of W.A.S.P. pilots. Searching Women Airforce Service Pilots on Google will provide several excellent links to information on this group. The websites have great photos. I think 38 of these lady pilots were killed in service during WW2. WASP was a paramilitary organization under U.S. Air Force control. The Veterans of this group were given official military veteran status in the 1970s.
