Description
About to be added to the National WASP WWII Museum in Sweetwater, Texas, this song is a tribute to the women of the US (WASPS) who flew planes and trained male pilots. All were volunteers, were prevented from enlisting, although they wanted to. They were paid nothing. When the war ended they paid their own way home. Those who survive (300 of 1200 women) were honored in Washington DC March 10th, 2010. They are an inspiration for girls and women everywhere. This is their story.
