AAF Arnold Air Society Cadets and WASP at their 2005 Convention in Denver, Co, where they voted to ‘Adopt a WASP”—Wings Across America’s proposal for chapters across the US to honor their local WASP.

Since the beginning of Wings Across America, I enjoyed creating a wide variety of original educational projects designed to preserve and share the remarkable story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

Along the way, we were invited to Air Shows and special events to honor the WASP and share their stories. Creating posters for every special event was a challenge, but the donations given for the posters helped our little project continue to ‘fly.’

Beyond the traveling exhibits, the music, the video interviews, the speeches, and the books are many other creative projects—each developed with the same purpose: to educate, inspire, and ensure that the legacy of the WASP would never be forgotten.

Every project represents another way of telling their story and reaching a different audience. Whether through art, music, interactive activities, educational resources, posters or historical displays, the mission has always remained the same: to educate and inspire.

Welcome to a collection of Wings Across America's creative projects.
