From the WASP

"I was proud to have been a WASP, and I am glad 

Wings Across America will preserve our history." 

"If I remain as one of the 600 WASP, I'm honored 

and touched that someone cares."

 "I am so thrilled with the prospect of future generations having access to WASP history on the Internet!" 

"I think it's good for us to tell our own story, 

before someone rewrites it for us." 

"I think `Wings Across America' sounds wonderful. 

Hope I will be able to see it myself someday."

 "The WASP stories are like crops in the field needing to be harvested...before it is too late.” 

“Please hurry."

From Nancy Parrish

Our mission is to let the voices and the stories 

of the WASP inspire and encourage our visitors 

to fly higher than they've ever flown. 

And one thing you should know right up front, 

WASP ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH. They don't need 

to make anything up! WASP LIVED their history, one checkride, one heartbreak and one triumph at a time.

Nancy Parrish, Director, Wings Across America

Early Supporters

To be able to tell the story of a unique group of women 

who served so unselfishly more than 50 years ago 

should inspire the American people — who need 

to receive a heartwarming story of service 

and dedication at a time when these virtues 

are not always in ready supply in our society. 

Furthermore, Wings Across America can be one of the

greatest public relations endeavors ever embraced 

by some astute and discerning corporate executive."

Herbert H. Reynolds, President Emeritus,

Baylor University

"Thank you so much for your truly remarkable 

efforts in documenting the history of the

Women Air Force Service Pilots. 

You are breaking new ground in this educational

effort that will inspire and captivate generations to come. The WASP were and still are my role models."

Eileen M. Collins, LTC, USAF NASA Astronaut

"One of the proudest things I've ever done 

in my whole life was to be associated 

with the WASP as you were flying in World War II. 

I have a great respect for the WASP, 

a great respect for their ability and for 

all of the girls I knew. To sit and think of this

country not preserving the history of the WASP 

during World War II is unbelievable."

Barry Goldwater June 19, 1996

“I want to commend Wings Across America on their exemplary work. This is truly one of the best pages 

I have ever read. Keep up the good work.”

Janet Reno, Former U.S. Attorney General

April 14, 2001

"I have the utmost respect for all members of the 

Women's Air Force Service Pilots.

They were hard working, dedicated pilots 

who served our country well, playing an

important part during the war. 

`Wings Across America' will be invaluable in

preserving the WASP history and teaching 

the current and future generations of their

proud history."

Chuck Yeager, BRIG. GEN., USAF, Ret.
