'?he oril:inal purpose.of the CAFwas to locate
acquire and restore WWII aircraft, destined for
the ~nk heap. They called themselves rebels
in the beginning because they were rebelling
:;r,ainst the dest.ruction of aircraft that should have beer: pl'eserved but were being ,"hopped up
01' left to l'ot on abandoned fields. As their
fieet of fichters, bo:nbers and some \{1.-J1I foreigh
aircraft crew, they were invited to perform
',It. rr.ilitary bases. Th..':.1; year they secured a
:',e:"!!',aniieinkel HE-Ill bomber, the first German
oom"eel' eve r to touch Juneri can shores. Located
in Spain, it ,,'as flown to England and then
through Scotland, Ireland, i~ewfoundland and finally
to i!<lrlingen just one week before the show. In
~ddition to the celebrity aircraft appearing
in this year's show, celebrity pilots included
GreG "?appy" Boyine;ton (Baa-baa Black Sheep),
Pa']} Tibbetts (13-29 Enola Gay drop on Hiroshima),
'lex iiil.1 (one of original Flyine; Tigers, Gabby
Gab=-eski (A:nel"ica's leading combat ace), and
George Gay, sole survisor of the famed "Torpedo

addition to the nearly 100 CAFWlHI aircraft,
there were 613 visiting private planes at the
shew.

Editor's report
It's time to righta 33-year-old wrong
By William Randolph Hearst Jr.
Edltor-in-Chief, The Hearst Newspapers
NEW YORK - Earlier this month a class of 10women graduated from Air F orce P ilot S chool atWilliams Air Force Base, Phoenix. They were hailed asthe first women to fly military aircraft for the U .s. Air Force.
These young women richly deserve the congratula-tions of their country,the plauditsof their military superiors and tbeir role in history as the first"commissioned" women pilots.
But the truth is, these recentgraduates are not the first womento pilot military aIrcraft for the Air
Force. Back when tbe Air Forcewas caned the U.S. Army Air Corpsthere were 1,074women pilots whoflew every kind of military aircraftthen in existence. It was wartime,
. and tbe young women belonged toW. R. Hearst Jr. a unit formed by Gen. Hap Arnold
called Women Airforce Service Pilots - WASP.
Tbese courageous ladies piloted figbter eraftand bombers to all parts of tbe world. Tbeir role was
to relieve male pilots for combat duty because therewas a pressing shortage of rombat-ready pilots int be w ar 's e ar ly d ay s, a nd t be y - t be w om en -
performed their jobs with rourage, dispatch and effirienry. So dedicated were they that 38 of tbemlost their lives.
WAS P was activated In S eptember 1942 and disbanded in December 1944, when there were enoughmale pilots and the women were no longer needed.They were simply discharged - decommissioned, so tospeak, without ever having been commissioned as
officers.
Now the ladies of WASP, no longer young, wonder why they have never been given customary veterans'
benefits, and they are asking for them. There are 850 of them still living, according to Col. Bruce Arnold, son of
Hap Arnold.Tbe women of WASP believe they are en tilled to
the ba sir s - hospita liza tion when neede d inveterans facilities, G.I. insurance rights, time served
with WAS P in tbe Army Air C orps added to <ivllservite time served subsequently as civilians torount toward pension programs and last, but notleast important to many, the rigbt to burial in amilitary cemetery.
A bill introduced in botb houses of Congress togive veterans' benefits to the WASPs has met withunexpected resistance, mostly from bureaucrats and the Veterans' Administration, which adberes to theattitude: "We'd be opening a can of worms."
A Senate committee held a hearing on the bill lastMay but did not put it to a vote. A House committee willhear witnesses Tuesday and Wednesday of this week,and there appears to be strong opposition building,mostly as the result of lobbying by the government'sown agencies. Chairing the committee is Rep. RayRoberts, D.Tex.
Washington correspondent Marianne Means of the Hearst Newspapers has reported tbat PresidentCarter is opposed to tbe bill and that Mrs. Carter shares his opposition.
The total cost to the republie to provide fullveterans' rights to the bra\'c women "ho served t he ir c ou ntr y so w el l m or e t ha n a q ua rt er o f a
rentury ago would be a measly $100,000 a ~'ear for aslong as the 850 sun'ivors live. Not a 100 million, nor even one million, but 100 thousand.
To resist this on grounds of its cost is nothingshort of incredible for an administration that isrequesting $10.6 billion for the first year's budget for its new Department of Energy. But more on that inanother rolumn.
We should regard the women of WAS P as theforebears of the 10 female officers who graduated fromthe Air Force Pilot School this month - and we should honor them accordingiy. It is simply not proper todeprive. them of the military benefits that were
bestowed by a grateful populace on all other military personnel.
The members of WASP came for"ard at a time
wben they were desperately needed. Tbe idea of equalrights lor women simply did not exist then. Tbe
problem was simple: There were too few men pilOts; tbe
women were eager to help win the war, and in thosedark days of 1942 and 1943 tbe government wasgrateful to get all tbe help it could.
Right from tbe beginning, members of WASP weregiven to understand that if tbey proved capable, theywould be made an official part of the Army Air Corps.
Due to congressional red tape, tbe entire plan wentastray.
It did not take long to demonstrate tbat WASP wasvaluable to the war effort, but it was not until thesummer of 1944 that Congress voted against tbe billdesigned to make WASP par! of tbe air corps.
By tben, though, there was no longer a shortageof male pilots, and the t ime had come to get thewomen bark to the kitchens where, in the chauvinistview of lhe day, they belonged.
Bitterly disappointed at not being allowed toremain in service until victory was assured, the WASPswent their own ways.
Because these were, for tbe most part, highlymotivated young ladies, they did as well in civll1an lifeas they did in the air corps. The did not raise tbequestion of veterans' benefits until quite recently. Theydidn't need help, so they didn't ask for it.
The basic objection of the Veterans Administrationis that the granting of veteran status to WASPs would set a p~ecedent and there would then be no way todeny veteran status to the many groups that worked asauxiliaries to the armed forces. The Civil Air Patrol isnamed as one such group.
I contend, however, that they cannot be equated.The CAP, also founded by Hap Arnold, was composed of civilians who flew planes on their days off to sear~hfor submarines off the continental shores. It was associal as it was military.
Are we to forget these ladies of WASP, now allmiddle-aged, who gave so much and asked for so littlerecognition? How ungrateful can a nation become?
Write your senator. Write your congressman.Write me, c/o the Examiner.
