John just told me about Florrie Maloof! His mother in law, who was a WASP in Sweetwater TX, and flew B26’s from the factory to Bangor Me!

Over 25,000 women applied for the honor of flying for their country during WWII. 

Of these, 1,830 were chosen to receive training, and 1,074 graduated.

About 30 percent did not pass the training requirements or resigned.
