My kinda ladies !
Charles | Charles/Njaco-The ladies' names are from left to right: Frances Green-Kari (1921-1994), Margaret Kirchner-Stevenson ( -199  , Ann Waldner-Currier, Blanche Osborn-Bross (1916-200 . Of the four only Ann Waldner-Currier is still alive. Members of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots. The picture was taken after a training flight at Lockbourne Army Air Force Base, Columbus, Ohio. This was where the WASP that were to fly B-17's were trained. I've been doing some digging and I'll tell you something, this is a pretty interesting bit of history. One of them was married to the inventer of the polygraph test, (they were both criminologists) another was the first Chinese-American female to fly for the U.S. military after being told by her own country no thanks in flying against the Japanese. Several went on to become high ranking U.S.A.F. officers, one became involved in the space program as an aerospace scientist and qualified as an Astronaut (did not fly as). What little information I have does not do these ladies justice, so I am awaiting permission from the Texas Woman's University Library for permission to use the information, photos and manuscripts they have. They are the only authorized offical WASP Assn repository as voted on by the remaining survivors of WASP. There are several websites and spin off associations, but the amount of information here is incredible. So as soon as I receive their permission I will post more information, as I am sure you would rather hear their story in their words and not mine. All of their pages have warnings on them. These women did not just open the barn door for today's female military pilots, they burned down the barn afterwards. STATS
Here is a link to some statistics. Of interest is at the bottom, comparison of pay to "equivilent" male officers. The WASP had to pay for everything, including room and board and clothing. They were not given military/veteran status until 1977. Also note they a better safety rating per 1000 hours than their male counterparts.
Will write more later, take care,
C2
