| Nearly 70 years have passed since America fought in World War II. In those critical days over a thousand courageous women pilots took to the skies in military aircraft for the United States Army Air Forces to relieve desperately needed male pilots for combat duty.
These women pilots paid their own way to enter training, took up a collection to help pay
for the expenses of burial when one of their peers was killed, and,
when they were disbanded in 1944, they had to pay their own way back home.
There were no honors, no benefits, and few thanks.
This is your opportunity to say THANK YOU in a tangible way.
