Betty White Dybbro, 100-years old, is the last Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) living in Washington state. Pinned to her blouse is a Congressional Gold Medal that in 2009 President Barak Obama signed into law a bill to award the medal to the WASP to give them the recognition they deserved. Photographed at her daughter Julie Dybbro’s Olympia home, Wednesday, September 21, 2022. During World War II, the WASP flew every plane that the men did. They delivered planes from the factories where they were built, tested planes, flew cargo and transported troops. The only thing they did not do that the men did was to go into combat. When the war was over, they had to find their own ways home and were only offered jobs as stewardesses. 221619
