WASP Ruth Underwood Florey

 

"No Regrets"

 

Stationed at Camp Davis, North Carolina during WWII, Ruth was one of the first women to fly tow target missions in A-24's (much like a Navy dive bomber). She would fly her missions over the beach, while ground crews fired anti aircraft shells at her target. Ruth is one of a handful of WASP who later went on to fly the highly classified PQ 'drone' missions.
