Description
When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Cornelia Fort was already in the air with a student. They barely made it back to ground that morning. When the U.S. Army Air Forces put out a call for women pilots to aid the war effort, Fort was one of just over 1,100 women from across the nation made it through the Army's rigorous selection process to join the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). Not authorized to serve in combat, the WASP helped train male pilots for service abroad, and ferried bombers and pursuits across the country. Thirty-eight WASP would not survive the war. When the program was disbanded, the women were forgotten by the country they served. Landdeck shows how they came together to fight for recognition as the military veterans they were-- and for their place in history. -- adapted from jacket
