During World War II, Texas was flooded with young people training to serve their country in the war. Included in this group were over 1,800 young women pilots aged 18 to 35 who learned to fly the Army way, first in Houston then in Sweetwater. These women came from all walks of life?from college students in West Texas to dancers with the Zeigfield Follies in New York City. They all had two things in common: they loved to fly and they wanted to serve their country.
