WASP IN THEIR OWN WORDS: 

An Illustrated History of the Trailblazing 

WWII Women Airforce Service Pilots” 

A breathtaking tribute to 1,102 courageous women who broke barriers to become the first female pilots to fly American military aircraft. 

 Through the voices of over one hundred WASP, this book answers the compelling questions: “What inspired you to fly?” and “What inspired you to serve?” 

 A rich tapestry of hundreds of scrapbook photos and heartfelt quotes illuminates their honor, patriotism, sacrifice, faith, and unshakable determination to fly for their country. These remarkable women not only served America during some of the darkest days of World War II but also forever changed the role of women in military aviation. 

 Whether you’re a young dreamer or a seasoned historian, you’ll be captivated by this overlooked chapter of history—one filled with grit, courage, humor, and the fearless spirit of women who volunteered, paid their own way to serve their country, performed beyond all expectations, were ordered not to talk about their service, and paid their own way home. 

 Let the legacy of the WASP inspire you to “fly a little higher” in everything you do!

MUSTARD SEED MIRACLES:
THE WASP CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL

One WWII Flygirl's Journey from a Boxcar to the  Cockpit of a B-26 to Center Stage at the U.S. Capitol. 

This is the extraordinary true story of resilience, honor, and unwavering determination—a story of a woman who refused to take “no” for an answer.  

Meet Deanie Parrish—born in a boxcar, raised with grit and grace, and destined for the skies. 

Step into the world of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)—the pioneering women who defied expectations to become the first female pilots in U.S. military history. These trailblazers flew 60 million miles in service to their country, piloting every type of aircraft on every kind of mission—except combat. They volunteered. They served with honor. And then, before the war even ended, they were dismissed, denied military status, and nearly erased from history.

 In 1977, the U.S. Air Force falsely declared it was training the “first” women to fly military aircraft. The WASP knew better—and they fought back. They demanded the veteran status they had been promised. It took decades, but they won.

 Then, more than 30 years later, Deanie Parrish led a battle of her own, rallying a powerful team of WASP Champions to secure the highest civilian honor Congress can bestow: the Congressional Gold Medal. This book is a tribute to one remarkable woman’s unshakable faith that, “With God, nothing is impossible.”
