Copy of book "The Women With Silver Wings: The Inspiring True Story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II," by Katherine Sharp Landdeck, Ph.D.. The cover is a black and white photo of four women walking between two rows of airplanes while wearing dark blue pants and light blue or white shirts, holding parachutes over their shoulders. The letters of the title are bright blue - representing a bold, sunny sky.

A color picture of Katherine Sharp Landdeck, arm and arm with WASP of WWII Mary Regalbutto Jones. They are in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in the summer of 1997 and standing in front of a banner made by WASP Shutsy Reynolds saying Oshkosh 1997, having the symbol of the Women Military Aviators, and filled with signatures of everyone who had entered the WASP tent that week. Kate had interviewed Mary, they had become fast friends, and Kate had promised Mary to tell her story and the story of her fellow WASPs far and wide for the rest of her days.

The USAF has reversed itself "after uproar." We must continue to pay attention. We must continue to preserve & share the stories of the Tuskegee Airmen & the Women Airforce Service Pilots. I promised them I would always tell their stories. You can too. Knowledge is power! www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...

It’s official: In the USA The Gulf of Mexico is now the β€œGulf of America,” and Denali, the Alaska Native name for North America’s tallest peak, has been reverted to Mount McKinley. But we refuse to accept this changeβ€”Denali will always be Denali to us. #IStandWithDenali

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. πŸ—ƒοΈ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...
