Event Description

Uncover the incredible stories of the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs), a group of fearless aviators who broke barriers and proved women could excel in military aviation.

These pioneering women flew combat aircraft, ferried planes across the country, and took on missions that male pilots often avoided. Despite facing discrimination and unequal pay, they persevered, demonstrating skill, determination, and resilience.

Learn about their lasting impact on aviation, their fight for recognition, and the legacy they left behind. This inspiring look at history highlights the bravery of women who paved the way for future generations in the skies.
