Goggles worn by Amelia Earhart. Crack on the right lens happened
during a minor crash when she was learning to fly.

Amelia Earhart's License

Original charter for the local chapter of the Ninety-Nines, the organization
for female pilots whose first president was Amelia Earhart. On this certificate is
Jacqueline Cochran's signature as a founder of the chapter.

In 1943, thanks to Jacqueline Cochran, the first classes of WASP graduates were awarded wings, ending another controversary of 'should these women pilots be given Army Air Corps Wings?'  The wings worn by the first classes to graduate from the Army Air Corps training program were paid for Jacqueline Cochran, who knew how important winning their wings was to these young women. From 43 W-8 to 44 W-10, two official versions of these wings were used. The difference was in the cut of the feathers, but the main lozenge in the center was the same for both designs.

Women's Flying Training Detachment (WFTD) wings for the first classes were the same as the aviation cadets, with the shield in the middle 'sanded down' and the class number added. They remained the same design  with slight variations from 43 W-1 to 43 W-7.

Women pilots originally flying for the Ferry Command wore these regulation ACT Civillian Pilot Wings.  These WAFS were later incorporated into the WASP.

Flight School Graduates

During WWII, over 25,000 young women applied for the honor of flying for their country as part of a program called  Women Airforce Service Pilots — WASP for short. These civilian volunteers ferried and tested planes so male pilots could head to combat duty ...

Of these, 1,830 were chosen to receive training and 1,074 graduated. Of those only 38 died while in service. 786 who were accepted into the program didn't reach graduation for differing reasons: About 30% didn't pass training requirements; 8% resigned; about 1.5% didn't make it because of medical reasons and about 0.8% were released for disciplinary reasons. In all, only 38 died while in training or while on duty. 

These counts don't include the 28 WAFS organized by Nancy Love. The WAFS program was officially announced on 10 Sep 1942. The first 11 WAFS were sworn in on the 21st (the same day the B-29 made its first successful flight). By mid-December, "The Originals" were all on station.

In the meantime, Jacqueline Cochran, the first woman to fly a bomber across the Atlantic on 17 Jun 1941, got approval to start the Womens Flight Training Detachment (WATD) on 15 Sep 1942. The first class began on 15 Nov 1942 and the last class graduated on 7 Dec 1944.

On 21 Aug 1943 the WAFS and WFTDs merged to form the WASP.

"This is not a time when women should be patient. We are in a war and we need to fight it with all our ability and every weapon possible. Women pilots, in this particular case, are a weapon waiting to be used." ~Eleanor Roosevelt (1942)

"The Originals" (WAFS) ~ These 28 women were the first. They began reporting for duty on 11 Sep 1942, began training on the 21st and completed training by the middle of December. They averaged 1,400 hours of flying before they joined the WAFS.
