Abingdon Legends Collection

The Women Air-force Service Pilots (WASP) were a group of 1,102 female pilots who flew military aircraft during World War II, performing vital tasks such as ferrying planes between bases and testing newly manufactured aircraft. Despite facing discrimination and stereotypes about women's abilities, they proved themselves as skilled and capabe pilots, contributing significantly to the war effort.

Their contribution to the war effort helped free up male pilots for combat duty, and their bravery and dedication paved the way for future generations of female aviators.

The WASP Watch serves as a daily reminder of their courage and perseverance, inspiring women to carry their legacy forward.
