**The Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)**:

The WASP program was established in 1943, making history as the first group of women to fly military aircraft for the United States. More than 1,100 women volunteered, training to fly everything from trainers to heavy bombers, ferrying aircraft, testing repaired planes, and towing targets for gunnery training. Their work freed male pilots for combat and was instrumental in the Allied victory during WWII.

Despite facing discrimination and limited recognition at the time, the WASP members served with unparalleled dedication, completing dangerous missions and setting the stage for future generations of women in aviation. In 2010, the WASP program was finally recognized with the Congressional Gold Medal, honoring their contributions to the nation.
