The Women Airforce Service Pilots: WASP

200320 Like and subscribe. This is an archive, check the link in the end if you are owner. At the outset of World War II, the U.S. military did not accept female pilots. But women were allowed to serve as civilian contractors flying military planes in non-combat roles. The Women Airforce Service Pilots of the "WASP" flew every type of plane the United States used during the war in every role flown by male pilots except combat. The History Guy recalls the service and sacrifices of the WASP.
