American Experience: Fly Girls
At the height of World War II, more than a thousand women left their homes and jobs for the opportunity of a lifetime- to become the first female pilots to fly for the United States military. Eager to prove themselves, they faced danger and discrimination, and 38 gave their lives for their country.

The WASP's contribution to America's war effort was invaluable, yet mostly forgotten. In Fly Girls, the women of the WASP take wing once again, to tell their story of skill determination, and courage.
