The American Experience presents Fly Girls: The WWII Woman's Airforce Service Pilots

Join the local 99's, WASP Susie Bain, and Bullock Deputy Director Margaret Koch for a screening of the American Experience film, Fly Girls: The WWII Woman's Airforce Service Pilots. See it FREE with admission. Immediately following the show, join us on the museum's third-floor Rotunda Gallery for the final day of the Fly Girls of WWII exhibition to talk with the 99's hear first-hand the story of the WASP.

At the height of World War II, more than a thousand women left their homes and jobs for the opportunity of a lifetime joining the Women's Air Force Service Pilots (WASP) to become the first female pilots to fly for the United States military. The film Fly Girls: The WWII Women's Airforce Service Pilots features a remarkable group of former WASPs who recall the planes they flew, the challenges they met, and the pride they felt in playing a role in the American war effort. Drawing on archival footage, rarely seen home movies, and interviews with pilots themselves, WASP tell their compelling story of skill, determination, and courage.
