There have been many books about the Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII (WASP); however, hardly any about the 38 women who lost their lives while flying for the Army Air Corps. This book tells their story.When the war began, the men called these women “girls.” They didn’t believe this grand experiment could ever work—that the women of America—sisters and wives—could fly Army airplanes all over the country. Yet, these women were patriots and all they asked was a chance to do something that would help win the war. Of the 1,074 who flew as a WASP, 38 young women never came back—never had a future, and never heard their country say, “Thank you.”Here, we remember them.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

My fondest early memories are of the two-room school house where Mrs. Joseph, our 3rd and 4th grade teacher, told us about Sacajawea, Lewis and Clark, and so many others of those early days. She said each one of us was an Oregon pioneer and I think we all believed her. I know I did.

I became interested in history when I was very young. Even before the Air Force, college, a radio career as a DJ and newscaster, and nearly two decades as a reporter and columnist for the Mail Tribune newspaper--My great grandmother had let me read some of my ancestor's Civil War letters.

These two women and my time working as Historian at the Southern Oregon Historical Society made all the difference.

I was hooked on history.

I try to find the humanity in the stories I write, the little things often overlooked in a person's daily life. I usually leave the major historic figures to someone else. I prefer to tell the tales of everyday people, the people who so often have been forgotten.

I write because I love to tell stories. I hope you will enjoy them.

I wanted to know more about the WASP's and found this treasure of a book. It chronicles the lives of these young American heroes until their untimely deaths in training or in performance of their jobs ferrying all manner of aircraft around the country in the middle of WWII. Thoughtfully written with a real story-tellers insights this book will keep you turning pages as he honors the memory of these young women warriors.

4.0 out of 5 stars An interesting insight of the WWII WASP
Reviewed in the United States on July 2, 2019
This was an interesting look at the lives of 38 WASP who were killed serving their country during WWII as they ferried aircraft across the U.S. The author began by explaining how the WASP came to be through the hard work and persistance of Jackie Cochran and Nancy Harkness Love. Each of the 38 women had a brief history given about their lives and how they died. The majority of deaths were due to mechanical problems with the aircraft. Very well researched.
