Every generation has its heroes. Occasionally those heroes have to fight to keep their title. Betty Strofhus is one of those heroes. Betty served as a Women's Airforce Service Pilot, known as WASPs, during World War II. She was relieved from duty when she and over a thousand other WASPs were disbanded in December of 1944. Not one to back away from a fight, Betty fought to make the WASP's story known to the public so they could get the recognition they deserved as the Army Airforce's first female pilots.
