Gee still dreamt of flying and saved money for flying lessons while working at the shipyards. When she had saved enough, Gee moved to Minden, Nevada, and accumulated 50 hours of flying time, allowing her to apply to the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) flying training program. This branch of the Army Air Corps trained women to be pilots and fly missions at home while men were fighting overseas.

A trailblazer so that women like my daughter can fly into a combat zone as a paramedic to treat and evacuate casualties.
