“One night we were towing
targets in a B-25, and they were
supposed to get the target in
the searchlights,” she recalled.
The idea was one crew on the
ground would spotlight the tar-
get with the bright beams while
another crew would fire on the
target once it was illuminated.
“They got our plane in the
search lights instead,” Bright
said. “But fortunately, they
weren’t very good shots!”

The Abilene Reporter-News
reports a newly-minted pilot at
21 years old, she had joined the
WASPs, or Women Airforce
Service Pilots, which had just
been relocated to Sweetwater.
“Of course, since I was from
West Texas, it was no big shock
to me to find the dirt and the
wind blowing, and for it to be
hot,” she said, chuckling.
WASPs came from across
the country. There were 1,102 of
them who served during World
War II, including those coming
from more temperate climates.
“They were kind of in a state
of shock when they saw what
they were getting into,” Bright
said of her classmates. “They
were used to flying back east in
the green hills and no wind.
“They had to learn how
to make crosswind landings.
Those of us who trained in West
Texas, we thought that was the
only kind of landing you could
make.”

“The flak started bursting in
front of us, we took some evasive
action, got out of the way and
then just radioed and told him
we were going back to base,” she
said. “They couldn’t shoot well
enough.”
She laughed again at the
memory.
“So, that was fun.”
Bright left the WASPs when
they were deactivated in 1944.
She had no regrets, she had
done her duty, and more.
“I enjoyed every minute of it,”
she said.

WASPs ferried aircraft across
the country, or tested repaired
aircraft to ensure those planes
were ready for duty. Some, like
Bright, flew the B-25 and B-26
bombers.
“I was sent to B-25 transition
school after we got our wings,
there were 20 out of our class,”
she recalled. “It was just a won-
derful airplane to fly, it was very
dependable.”
The WASPs recently held its
annual homecoming at Avenger
Field. Two years ago, there were
105 WASPs still living. Now, no
more than 54 remain.
Carol Cain, vice president of
the National WASP World War
II Museum, said the average age
of the survivors is 96 to 105. On
May 26, five of them, including
Bright, returned to Sweetwater.
“The WASPs moved the
training school from Houston
to Sweetwater 75 years ago,”
Cain said. “They only trained
here from 1943-44. Our muse-
um celebrates the WASPs who
graduated from here.”
After World War II, the
women were sent home and
discouraged from talking about
their service. Most went on to
what they believed were nor-
mal lives and nobody ever knew
women had flown high-perfor-
mance military aircraft during
the war.
It wasn’t until the 1970s,
when women began to enter
U.S. military academies to be-
come pilots in the U.S. Navy
and the U.S. Air Force, that the
public learned more. Head-
lines touting “First women pi-
lots to fly military airplanes”
sparked a movement to set the
record straight — women had
flown those aircraft 30 years
earlier.
WASP records were un-
sealed, their history was re-
vealed and their role has been
celebrated ever since. A staple of
the annual homecoming are the
women military pilots who visit
from bases around the country
to meet the women who flew
those planes first.
‘We were very lucky, the
ones who got to B-25 transition
school,” Bright recalled. “Ten
of us were sent to a tow-target
squadron at Fort Bliss in El Paso
to train the anti-aircraft boys in
ground-to-air.”
The job required them to
tow a target 50 feet behind their
airplanes, hoping those on the
ground knew what they should
be shooting at.
‘We towed targets in the
B-26 and the B-25,” Bright said.
“Of course, they shot real bullets
at them.”
Her plane never took a big
hit; but sometimes she’d find a

The school would teach the
women how to fly a handful of
the U.S. Army’s aircraft. Even-
tually, WASPs would go on to
fly every airplane in the Army’s
inventory and cumulatively log
close to 60 million miles during
the war.
To put it into perspective,
that’s about 125 trips to the
moon and back.
WASPs didn’t fly combat
missions and on paper they
weren’t officially active-duty
members of the military, serving
in a civil service capacity sim-
ilar to the merchant marines.
But the missions they flew con-
tained their own amount of risk
and 38 WASPs lost their lives in
the line of duty.
