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!

SEE our VOLUNTEER CREW LIST. | Participating PBS 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.
