Paul W. Tibbets to learn to fly the Boeing B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber.This 3x5 index card is hand-signed by Dora Dougherty, a pioneering aviator and member of the legendary Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. As one of the select few women to be trained as a test pilot for the B-29 Superfortress heavy bomber, Dougherty made significant contributions to the war effort. Born in 1921, she earned her pilot's license at a young age and joined WASP in 1943. Her groundbreaking work included demonstrating the B-29 to skeptical male pilots, showcasing the aircraft's capabilities and helping it gain acceptance within the U.S. Army Air Forces.The Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) were a trailblazing group of civilian women pilots who flew non-combat missions to free up male pilots for combat duty during World War II. Formed in 1943, WASP members flew over 60 million miles in various aircraft, performing critical roles such as ferrying planes, towing targets, and transporting cargo. Despite their invaluable service, the WASP were not officially recognized as military personnel until decades later, when they received long-overdue recognition and the Congressional Gold Medal in 2010.Encapsulated by PSA/DNA, this signed index card is a testament to the courage, skill, and dedication of Dora Dougherty and the remarkable women of the WASP program.
