Episode Synopsis
Episode 2: WASPs
The Women Airforce Pilots did not let anyone stand in their way of serving their country during WWII. These women flew and delivered planes to assist in the war efforts, but their struggles and achievements have gone unrecognized for years. After WWII, the U.S government sealed all documents relating to the WASPs. Our guest Diane Belanger is an expert on the history of WASPs and tells us about their work—ferrying newly built warplanes to be used overseas—and the one of the women who started it all: the formidable Jackie Cochran, who “did not suffer fools gladly.”
See an exhibit about the WASPs in our Personal Courage Wing (http://www.museumofflight.org/explore-the-museum/museum-galleries/personal-courage), and watch Diane perform live in our Living History programs(http://www.museumofflight.org/Plan-Your-Visit/Tours-and-Experiences/Living-History).
