About a WASPs As a WASPs (Women Air Force Service Pilots) we were an organization of civilian female pilots who had to fly military aircraft under the direction of the United States Army Air Forces during WWII. We were station in Europe for non-combat missions after the outbreak of WWII in 1941. Nancy Love and I were the two leaders of the other WASPs. I was also a pioneer in the field of aviation. In 1942 I supervised the training of hundreds of women pilots in Sweetwater, Texas. After 4 months of training the WASPs earn their wings.
