WASP pilot Nancy Nesbit

Seated in the cockpit of an AT-6 Texan at Love Field in Dallas, 1944. The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) (also Women's Army Service Pilots) were a civilian women pilots organization whose members were United States federal civil service employees. Members of WASP became trained pilots who tested aircraft, ferried aircraft and trained other pilots. Their purpose was to free male pilots for combat roles during World War II.
More than three decades later, on Sept. 20, 1977, a select House subcommittee on veteran affairs heard testimony on H.R. 3277, a bill which recognized WASP service as active duty in the armed forces and entitled them to veterans' benefits. It was strongly supported by both houses of Congress and Sen. Barry Goldwater, who had flown with WASP during World War II; he led the move to get the bill passed. The bill was vehemently opposed by the American Legion on the grounds that it "would denigrate the term ‘veteran' so that it will never again have the value that presently attaches to it." Controversy went back and forth, with the Veterans Administration opposing the bill and the Department of Defense supporting it.
Goldwater attached the bill as an amendment to the "GI Bill Improvement Act" (H.R. 8701), Oct. 19, 1977, but the committee chairs planned to strip the WASP amendment during the reconciliation process. This prompted two women representatives of the House, Rep. Margaret Heckler and Rep. Liddy Boggs, to take action in support of the WASP amendment.
A compromise was finally reached that if the Air Force would certify that the WASP had been de facto military personnel during the war, the WASP amendment would not be stripped. The Air Force certified the WASP, and in making their determination used the discharge papers of WASP Helen Porter, 1944, which read, "This is to certify that Helen Porter honorably served in active federal service of the Army of the United States." It was the same wording used in 1944 for all honorable discharges from the Army. H.R. 8701, as amended, passed the House with unanimous consent. President Carter signed the bill into law, Nov. 23, 1977.
