Summary[edit]
DescriptionB-17 Love.jpg |
English: Nancy Love in a B-17. Love is known for becoming the first woman to be certified to fly the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress as well as the Douglas C-54 Skymaster, North American B-25 Mitchell, and several other military aircraft. By June 1943, as Director of of the Women's Auxiliary Ferry Squadron (WAFS) Love was commanding four different squadrons of WAFS at Love Field,Texas; New Castle, Del.; Romulus, Mich., and Long Beach, Calif. The WAFS merged with the Women's Flying Training Detachment (WFTD) on August 5, 1943, creating the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), and Love was placed in charge of all ferrying operations. In total, she was certified to fly 19 military aircraft. Love continued to work on reports detailing the work of the Air Transport Command after the WASPs were disbanded in 1944. After the creation of the United States Air Force, Love was awarded the rank of lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Air Force Reserve in 1948. Weaving the Stories of Women's Lives: Lt. Col. Nancy H.
