WASP--IN THEIR OWN WORDS" is the most comprehensive, inspirational, ILLUSTRATED history book ever written about the WWII Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), the first women in history to fly America's military aircraft. The most compelling parts of "WASP--IN THEIR OWN WORDS" are the quotes from the WASP which are woven throughout the photographs copied from their personal scrapbooks'
The completed manuscript includes:
Quotes and/or stories from 128 WASP
Over 200 pages of color graphics and photographs
WASP classbook headshots of each of the 1,102 WASP
17 page illustrated WASP WWII timeline
8 page comprehensive WWII WASP Glossary
This ultimate, illustrated history of the WASP is a graphic-rich journey into the lives of these inspirational, pioneering female pilots. It encompasses experiences from their first flights, to their entering Army Air Force flight training, to their service as military pilots during some of the darkest days of WWII, to their fight for veteran status, and to the passage in 2009 of Public Law 111-40, which acknowledged their overlooked service to their country and awarded them the Congressional Gold Medal.
