Over a thousand women earned military wings at this Sweetwater airfield, ferrying bombers and towing live-fire targets while officially classed as civilians. Thirty-eight died in service. The survivors waited until 1977 to be recognized as veterans. The museum sits on the field where they trained.
That was 1 of the hidden places.
