[Clipping: Victorian Outraged by AF Woman Pilot 'First']

Newspaper clipping of a letter to the editor by Eleanor "Mickey" McLernon Brown, expressing outrage over the Air Force's announcement of the training completion of their "first" woman pilot. Mrs. Brown details how the members of WASP flew during WWII, were largely ignored by historical accounts of the U.S. Air Force, and were denied Veteran status. On the back of the clipping is an advertisement for a television.
