During World War II, the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) shattered gender norms and made history by taking on roles traditionally reserved for men. These courageous women, numbering over 1,000, volunteered to fly military aircraft, ferrying planes, towing targets for gunnery practice, and performing other essential tasks, while male pilots were deployed overseas. Despite facing discrimination and prejudice, the WASP demonstrated their skills and dedication, proving that women were just as capable as men in the aviation field. Their contributions to the war effort were significant and paved the way for greater opportunities for women in aviation and beyond.
