Library: Greensburg Hempfield Area LibraryBetween 1942 and 1944, at the height of World War II, 1,830 women left homes and jobs for the opportunity of a lifetime–to become the first in history to fly for the U.S. military. They volunteered in an experimental Army Air Corp program to see if women could serve as pilots, to relieve men for combat duty. These women became the Women Air Force Service Pilots, better known as the WASP. Location: Greensburg Hempfield Area Library Presenter: John Marsh Status: Closed |
