We were lucky to meet Millie here at the WASP Homecoming Reunion in 2017 at Avenger Field, Sweetwater, TX.

We will never forget you Shirley.

There are so many incredible pilots that we honor in our film and are excited to bring to the public. Here are three we are spotlighting in our crowdfunding campaign:

WASP Cornelia Fort: the first woman pilot to die in service of her country. Cornelia was giving a flying lesson above Pearl Harbor on that fateful December 7th. She narrowly escaped with her life. Her poetic, moving letters to her loved ones will be voiced in our film by an actress, giving the audience insight into what aviation meant to these women, and what it meant to serve their country as pilots.

WASP Hazel Lee: spunky and witty, Hazel used her humor to combat the prejudices she faced due to her gender and race. Hazel was initially denied burial rights in her hometown cemetery, but her family fought for what she was justly owed for serving her country.

Mildred Hemmons Carter: Mildred surprised Eleanor Roosevelt during her visit to Tuskegee Air base. Roosevelt knew Black men were training as pilots, but she did not know there were women pilots in the Civil Air Patrol program there as well. As a woman, Carter could not pursue advanced training at Tuskegee, so she applied for the WASP program, but was denied due to the segregation of Black Americans in the military. Carter was declared an official member of the WASP and a Designated Original Tuskegee Airman shortly before she died in 2011.

Donors at this level will will be credited under "Pilots Cross Circle" donors in the film's end credits.

Thirty-eight women died in service to their country. They were not allowed to be buried as military veterans. No American flag was presented to their families to be draped over their coffins. No gold star for their families' windows. No benefits. The military did not even pay for their bodies to be transported home. Their fellow WASP had to take up collections among themselves, and one WASP would ride the train with the body home to their fallen sister's families. Often their families felt the need to investigate the cause of death themselves, as information and details were not forthcoming. We honor these women and their sacrifice.
