fall of 1944, half of the ferrying division’s fighter pilots were women. WASPs made three-quarters of the domestic deliveries of all domestic deliveries of fast fighters. Another job WASPs had was flying target planes. This job may have been the most dangerous one of them all. WASPs flew the planes back and forth with a target trailing twenty-five feet behind them, as antiaircraft crews shot at them. During these tests, two WASPs lost their lives.
