Fly Girls of WWII

Join us in commemorating the courageous Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) at our latest exhibit, "Fly Girls of WWII.”

Step back in time and discover the remarkable story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) at our latest exhibit, "Fly Girls of WWII." The exhibit celebrates the fearless women pilots who took to the skies during World War II and changed the course of history.

The exhibit will feature an extensive collection of artifacts, including authentic uniforms, photographs, and other memorabilia, tracing the roots of the women who trained at the Houston Municipal Airport in the 1940s. Visitors will explore the contributions of the WASP, who flew thousands of missions during WWII, transporting planes and supplies, as well as testing and repairing aircraft.

This exhibition is not just about celebrating the accomplishments of the WASP, but also about honoring their legacy and recognizing their role as trailblazers for women in aviation. The exhibit will showcase the struggles and challenges these women faced as they fought for recognition and equal treatment in a male-dominated field.

The "Fly Girls of WWII" exhibition is a must-see event for anyone interested in learning about Houston’s rich aviation history. With a focus on the women who trained at the Houston Municipal Airport, visitors will gain a deeper understanding of the role these women played in paving the way for future generations of female pilots.
