“Decision Height” tells the story of six Women’s Air Force Service Pilots (called WASPs) who flew aircraft during World War II. While they didn’t see combat, these women were responsible for transporting planes and pulling targets for live ammunition training. This service freed up the men for active duty after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The WASPs proved to be an important asset for the military but have been largely forgotten in the history books.
