During World War II, over 1,000 women served as pilots in the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs). These women were responsible for flying non-combat missions, such as ferrying aircraft, towing targets, and transporting cargo. They also served as flight instructors and test pilots.
The WASPs were an important part of the war effort, but they faced many challenges. They were often discriminated against by their male counterparts, and they were not given the same opportunities for promotion and advancement. Despite these challenges, the WASPs persevered and made a significant contribution to the war effort.
Women of the Eighth is a powerful and inspiring book that tells the stories of these brave women. The book is based on interviews with over 100 WASPs, and it provides a unique insight into their experiences. The stories in this book are a testament to the strength and courage of women, and they continue to inspire people today.
Here are some of the stories featured in Women of the Eighth:
- Jacqueline Cochran was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in a single-engine plane. She also set several world speed records and served as the director of the WASPs.
- Nancy Harkness Love was the first woman to fly a jet aircraft. She also served as the chief test pilot for North American Aviation.
- Harriet Quimby was the first woman to fly across the English Channel. She also flew in the first air race in the United States.
- Bessie Coleman was the first African American woman to earn a pilot's license. She went on to become a successful stunt pilot and barnstormer.
These are just a few of the many inspiring stories that are told in Women of the Eighth. This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in aviation history, women's history, or inspiring stories of courage and perseverance.
