The Women With Silver Wings by Katherine Sharp Landdeck

The latest installment in uncovering the stories of the unsung heroes of WWII. When all the men had gone to war in Europe there weren't enough of them left at home to fly transport planes, test new planes or fly them to train new pilots so a brave bold group was formed to handle the load - the W.A.S.P. The program was born out of need but also a desire in these women to fly and from day one they had a battle on their hands. They would need special treatment, weren't strong enough, would just want to find a man and have babies - the list went on and on. Thankfully, they did have some people fighting for them and they soon outperformed and took on any task without complaint. At the end of the war the program was scrapped and everyone was told to disband and return to civilian life without honors. Their service would not be recognized for many years.
The author was able to interview many of these ladies in person and got a true accounting of their life and the important service they performed for our country in its time of need.
