5 female pilots sitting beside a B17 Flying Fortress wearing lightweight flight gear and fatigue caps.

I didn't forget the WASPs and WAFS. Formed after the US entry into WW2, they trained as USAC pilots and acted as test pilots and ferrying pilots. They took losses and had military training, but were not classed as veterans until 1977.
