“The WASPs Return”
El Paso Museum of History
Thursday, November 12, 2009
6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
August may be over, but the celebration of women in aviation continues. Thursday, November 12th Didi Shaffer returns to the El Paso Museum of History to tell the exciting story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots. Didi will take us back to WWII and show how women were recruited to fly missions considered not important enough for male pilots. Didi Shaffer is a local pilot and current president of the 99’s, an organization founded by Amelia Earhart and given that name as a result that ninety-nine women attended the first meeting. Free and open to all. For more information, call Sue Taylor at 351-3588 or email taylorsl@elpasotexas.gov.
