PROJECT INFORMATION:
Wings Across America is dedicated to preserving the history of the Women
Airforce Service Pilots of WWII and making sure it is included as an
exciting motivational educational resource in classrooms across America
and into the next century.
HOW? By giving each and every WASP the
opportunity to share her own eyewitness account of her service to her
country in the privacy and comfort of her own home.
Each and every story is important and
focuses on her entire life. Interviews are shot by professional
videographers on digital video tape, using professional lighting
and audio equipment.
Once these stories are captured as
broadcast quality video,the footage
will be digitized, along with personal
photographs and documents. These will all be edited onto
individual WASP Web pages for each and every WASP.
Once this content is captured and digitized, EVERYTHING is possible,
including kiosks at the Air Force Academy, Air Force Museum, National
WASP WWII Museum, and Smithsonian Air & Space Museum. |
HISTORY:
110 WASP have been interviewed in 19 states on a
wing and a prayer by the Wings Across America staff, including Chief
Interviewer and WASP, Deanie Parrish. From our home at Baylor
University, partnerships with PBS stations across the
country and interviewers trained by Steven
Speilberg's Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation have
been forged, but we cannot completely put those
into effect until the majority of the funding for interviews is in place.
We are also an official partner of the VETERAN'S HISTORY PROJECT, which ensures that the WASP who are interviewed will be part of a larger
resource of veteran's sites, broadening our audience and our ability to
reach out to classrooms across the world with the extraordinary history of
the WASP.
TODAY:In the meantime, and because every WASP is over 80,
it is imperative that we continue...funded or not! Every story is
priceless....just as every WASP is priceless!!!! Don't
let another day go by without supporting this worthwhile one-of-a-kind
project. 100% of proceeds go directly to the Wings Across America
Project and are tax deductible! |

Stations to Date: If you don't see
your station...let us know. We've only completed one mailing...we plan to do more. Also, not every PBS station is
near enough to a surviving WASP to be a part of
the network, so they were not contacted.
