Did you know that women who held a pilot's licence in the United States could sign up to become a part of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program during World War II? And did you know that even though some paid the ultimate price during their service, they were not given proper recognition as veterans for over 30 years? Dr. Sarah Myers joined me to discuss her latest book, "Earning Their Wings: The WASPs of World War II and the Fight for Veteran Recognition," which details these incredible women.
