The EAA is honoring the Women Airforce Service Pilots who flew essential missions during World War Two in a new museum exhibit that opened this week. EAA spokesman Dick Knapinski says More than 1,100 women were accepted into the WASP program in 1943 and 1944, and 38 of them died while in service to their country. Knapinski says the WASP pilots were the first women to fly military aircraft, and fewer than 30 are still alive today, more than 75 years after their historic achievement. The temporary exhibit is on display in the museum’s Eagle Hangar.
