Under the command of renowned 1930's aviatrix Jackie Cochran, these women flew the Air Force's largest bombers and top secret jet fighters. However, when they began doing a "man's job" a bit too well for the military a political battle ensued. Becoming a victim of her own success Jackie Cochran and her "women's air force" became forgotten pioneers of gender equality. With the voices of over 30 original members of the WASP, relive an exciting time for the flying women of the "greatest generation".
