Description

Harlingen Army Air Field, Texas--Elizabeth L. Gardner of Rockford, Illinois, WASP (Women's Airforce Service Pilot) pilot, takes a look around before sending her plane streaking down the runway at the air base., ca. 1930 - 1975.

Note: Almost certainly this dates from 1942-1945, part of project of having women pilots move aircraft on the home front to free up more male pilots for combat duty.
