Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) Historical Markers

Markers honoring the female federal civil service pilots known as WASPs and those women who flew in their World War II predecessor organizations. While performing valued aerial service during the war, they unfortunately were not granted military veteran status until 1977, and much later recognized with a Congressional Gold Medal in 2009.
