Many of us married during the war, and a number of us continued flying for our livelihood. But we could never go back to the way we were. The WASP experience changed us all forever.
-WASP Anne Noggle
I was thrilled with the book! It gives us a rare day to day insight into our lives as WASP. We had almost no contact with the antiaircraft men we were flying for. I discovered much I didn’t know about the base even though I served there. The photos brought back many memories for me.
-WASP Helen Wyatt Snapp
You did a great job of capturing the spirit of the times.
-WASP Betty Deuser Budde
I think the WASP are going to love this book, especially the inclusion of so many of their own words used to describe the place, time and their experience.
-Tracey MacGowan, Texas Woman’s University, The Woman’s Collections
This is the best kind of history! Not only does WOMEN IN THE WILD BLUE rescue a fascinating and forgotten piece of World War II history, Stallman remembers that it is the people, not the planes that really make the story. By allowing so much of the book to be told in the words of these amazing women who flew the planes, he brings the people and events vividly alive for the reader. You will never forget Jackie Cochran, Betty Deuser, and all the other brave women you’ll meet in this book.
