  • Hazel Ying Lee and the WASP 1912–1944
    Name _____________________________ Class _________________ Date __________________ The United States in World War II Biography Hazel Ying Lee and the WASP 1912–1944 WHY THEY MADE HISTORY Hazel Lee and other members of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) performed flying tasks vital to the war effort. Their work on the home front allowed more military pilots to join the fighting overseas. As you read the biography below, look for examples of the courage and patriotism of Hazel Ying Lee and the other women of the (342-FH-4A05432) Archives National WASP. What did theyprove? Pilots were in short supply. As the United States moved into the second year of the war, the military could not train fliers fast enough to meet the needs of U.S. forces in Europe and the Pacific. In response, civilian aviator Jacqueline Cochran worked with the U.S. Army to set up a new program that would train female pilots. She proposed that these pilots could take over work in America that was being done by military pilots. The male pilots would then be free to fight the war overseas. Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) had just been born. Twenty-five thousand women applied to this organization. Candidates were required to have commercial flying licenses and high school diplomas. Only American citizens between the ages of 21 and 24 were considered. The 1,830 women who were admitted were then given military flight training, and of them, 1,074 earned their wings. Once trained, the women of WASP took new planes on test flights to pinpoint any mechanical problems.

  • A Short History About Chinese American Military Veterans
    A short history about Chinese American Military Veterans Philip Chin, Managing Editor, Chinese American Heroes The stories of the many Chinese Americans veterans who have served in the American military from the Civil War until the present has been completely forgotten or ignored. This is even more deplorable as they serve as a counter to the accusations and negative stereotypes about the loyalty and courage of Chinese Americans that we have regularly been treated to in the popular media over the past decades. Picture shown above. The picture of Joseph Pierce in Union uniform. Courtesy of the owner of the picture, Michael J. McAfee, Senior Editor of the Military Images magazine and Curator of the Museum of United States Military Academy, and courtesy of Philip Katcher, Senior Book Review Editor of the Military Images magazine. Photo credit also goes to Irving Moy. Chinese Americans, including 1st generation Chinese Americans, have served in the American military since the Civil War (1861-1865). Most surprisingly they fought on both sides of the Civil War depending on their home state. Some of the Chinese were given Christian names and therefore, historians had to dig deep to discover them. Joseph Pierce from Canton, China fought for the North with the 14th Connecticut Infantry which played a major role in repulsing Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. Corporal John Tommy was another Union soldier. He'd made the news headlines in both North and South early in the war when he was captured by amazed Confederate troops and was asked by a general if he would join them.

  • Hazel Ying Lee: the First Female Chinese-American Pilot
    Hazel Ying Lee: The First Female Chinese-American Pilot Hazel Ying Lee, born and educated in Oregon, became the first Chinese American woman to earn a pilot’s license and fly for the U.S. military, as one of two Chinese Americans in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) - the other was Margaret “Maggie” Gee from California. Known for her good nature, piloting skill, and courage, her peers considered her to be an excellent colleague and pilot. At an early age, Lee knew she wanted to fly. After graduating from high school she took a job as an elevator operator at a department store to earn money for flight lessons. At the age of 19, she joined the Chinese Flying Club of Portland and took lessons from aviator Al Greenwood. She earned her pilot's license in October 1932. In 1933, like many Chinese American pilots, she went to China, hoping to become a military pilot. The Chinese Air Force turned her down because they did not allow women pilots. Despite her disappointment, she remained in China. For a while, Lee had a military desk job, and flew, on occasion, for a commercial airline. She again tried to join the Chinese Air Force in July 1937, when the Second Sino-Japanese War officially began. The military again rejected her because of her gender. Returning to the United States in 1938, she worked for the Chinese government as a buyer of war materials in New York. In the fall of 1942, Lee applied for the Women’s Flying Training Detachment, which later merged with the Women Airforce Ferrying Squadron to become the Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP).

  • On Shifting Ground: the Women Airforce Service Pilots
    ON SHIFTING GROUND: THE WOMEN AIRFORCE SERVICE PILOTS OF WWII - PUBLIC IMAGES, PRIVATE REALITIES, AND THE BURDENS OF LASTING PROGRESS _______________ A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of San Diego State University _______________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Women’s Studies _______________ by Kimberly Ann Enderle Summer 2018 iii Copyright © 2018 by Kimberly Ann Enderle All Rights Reserved iv DEDICATION This thesis is dedicated to the 1,102 Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II, who demonstrated unselfish passion, resiliency, courage, and commitment while accomplishing something no women had been allowed to do before – fly U.S. military aircraft. This thesis celebrates these courageous female aviators who volunteered to serve their nation during World War II, and to risk it all: their lives, their personal and professional reputations, simply for the opportunity to become the United States’ first women military aviators. This thesis is specifically dedicated to the five women that opened their hearts and their homes to me, who willingly shared their intimate life stories with me, and trusted me to tell their unvarnished stories: Beverly Loyola (Beesie) Beesemyer, Florence “Shutsy” Reynolds, Barbara (Bobbi) Willis Heinrich, Millicent (Millie) Amanda Peterson Young and Jean Landis. Without their generosity, patience, and kindness none of this would have been possible. In the 1940s these women bravely challenged prevailing notion that women were second class citizens, informed by patriarchy and were ultimately deemed “unnecessary and undesirable” by Congressman Robert C.W. Ramspeck (D-GA) who sought to discredit them. Some in society labeled them unfeminine, promiscuous, perverse or immoral, and some defied heterosexual norms simply because they chose to pursue their love of flight which was perceived to transgress gender roles and eschew societal norms.
