Helen Wyatt Snap: In January 1943, Helen was accepted in the Women’s Airforce Service Pilot (WASP) program. In late February, she started training at Sweetwater, Texas, and by the end of August, she was a member of the fourth graduating class. After graduation, she reported to Camp Davis, North Carolina, to receive training in target towing for anti-aircraft live fire. After her training, she was one of the first female pilots to serve at Liberty Field, Camp Stewart, until December 1944, when the WASPs were deactivated. During her two years in the WASP, she had flown over 1000 hours in various Army Air Corps and Navy aircraft.
