WWII "Fly Girls" soar to highest honor
Senior Airman Katie Spencer, 316th Wing public affairs specialist, left, presents Nancy Dunnham, World War II Woman Airforce Service Pilot, with a bronze replica of the Congressional Gold Medal in a private ceremony at the Capitol building visitor center March 10, 2010. Ms. Dunnham is from Bellevue, Wash., and served as part of the “Caterpillar Club,” a skydive team that jumped from simulated burning and damaged aircraft.
A number of Joint Team Andrews Airmen volunteered to escort the WASP and assisted them and their families during the day. (U.S. Air Force photo by Airman 1st Class Kat Lynn Justen)
