Storyteller Rebecca Hom will share the stories of several Women Airforce Service Pilots, (WASPs) as well as the history of the program. The WASPs were an essential part of the US military’s air efforts during WWII.
The WASP training base was in Sweetwater, Texas – A dry desolate place where 1,100 women trained at Avenger Field, during WWII. They were selected from more than 25,000 applicants from all over the United States. Those chosen were highly qualified civilian pilots, and became the first females to earn their Silver Wings and fly military aircraft. These women flew over 60 million miles, in pursuit, cargo, and bomber planes during the brief two years of the WASP program. Their proficiency, enthusiasm, and spirit served the country, broke the norm, and paved the way for the future inclusion of female pilots.
Aberdeen author and Disney collector Gregory E. Zschomler will present on the life and times of the most famous of Disney characters, Mickey Mouse. Mickey celebrates his 90th birthday on Sunday, November 18. Zschomler’s talk coincides with the display of his Mickey Mouse memorabilia at the library, running throughout November and December.
This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Aberdeen Timberland Library.
