Detailed explanation-1: -Members of WASP became trained pilots who tested aircraft, ferried aircraft, and trained other pilots. Their purpose was to free male pilots for combat roles during World War II.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most people who think of women in the Army in World War II think of the Women’s Army Corps (WAC) and their work in dozens of non-combat specialties to free men for combat service. An even smaller, more select group of women were allowed to join the Women Air Service Pilots (WASP).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) was established during World War II, on August 5, 1943. The WASP flew a total of 60 million miles performing a variety of missions. Although these women flew military aircraft, they were considered civilians, and were not granted military benefits or burials.
Detailed explanation-4: -They volunteered as civilian pilots in an experimental Army Air Corp program to see if women could serve as pilots and relieve men for overseas duty. These women became the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II, better known as the WASP.
