March 23, 2018 - Reno, Nevada, U.S - MILLICENT PETERSON YOUNG poses with her son, BILL YOUNG (l) and eight-year-old fan, DANIEL RICKMAN (r) following her appearance at the 29th Annual Women in Aviation International (WAI) Conference at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center in Reno, Nevada, on Friday, March 23, 2018. Young flew with the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) in 1944. The organization is sometimes referred to as Women's Army Service Pilots...Young received her wings from General Henry ''Hap'' Arnold...More than 25, 000 women applied for the WASP starting in September 1942: 1, 830 were accepted and 1, 074 completed the training in Sweetwater, Texas. Thirty-eight WASP died in the line of duty. ..WASP was created to free up men for combat flights in World War II by using women to support the air effort at home. The women were assigned to bases around the country, with jobs such as ferrying military planes coast to coast, testing aircraft and towing targets for gunnery practice...WASP members flew sixty million miles of operational flights from aircraft factories to ports of embarkation and military training bases. They towed targets for live anti-aircraft artillery practice, simulated strafing missions, and transported cargo. Women in these roles flew almost every type of aircraft flown by the USAAF during World War II. ..The WASP members were considered US federal civil service employees, and did not qualify for military benefits. In 1977, for their World War II service, the members were granted veteran status. (Credit Image: © Tracy Barbutes via ZUMA Wire)
