[WASP Walking Past B-17]

Photocopy of a group of four Women Airforce Service PIlots in flight gear walking past a B-17 aircraft. Text printed in the top left of the image reads, "WASPS (Women's Air Service Pilots) walking past the B-17 flying fortress known as Pistol Packing Mama. In WW2 they shuttled airplanes from factories, served as test pilots and delivered supplies by air. They trained out of Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, now the home of the WASP museum."
