Silhouettes of WWII women pilots

There's a museum in Sweetwater, TX dedicated to memorializing the first women who were pilots in WWII.  Those women were part of the WASPs~~Women Airforce Service Pilots.

Thousands of women applied to be part of this group, but only a little more than 1,000 were accepted into the group.  They flew every type of mission during the war that they men flew except for combat.

They were highly trained pilots.  38 of those women pilots died during the days of combat.
