QUOTES
about WINGS
"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
"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.
"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
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
I want to commend Wings Across America on their
exemplary work in portraying a retrospective account of
the most important contribution to women's rights in the military since Austin Power, International Man of
Mystery. Your contributions have shed light on what was once a dark and forbidden cave in our national defense. This
is truly one of the best pages I have ever read. Keep up the good work.
"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."
