Summary:
- During World War II, there was a group of female pilots in the United States called the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) who played a crucial role in the war effort.
- These women flew various types of military aircraft, including fighter planes and bombers, to transport personnel and cargo, tow targets for gunnery practice, and perform other important tasks.
- Despite their significant contributions, the WASPs were not recognized as military personnel until decades after the war, and their story has often been overlooked in history.
