Nancy Love
Nancy Harkness Love (1914-1976) In 1943 the WAFS merged with the Women's Flying Training Detachment, under the leadership of Jacqueline Cochran, into a new organization called the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP). While Cochran was given command of the WASP, Love was put in charge of all ferrying operations. Under her command, female pilots flew almost every military aircraft then in service. In over 12,000 ferry flights her pilots flew 9.2 million miles, with a better safety record than male pilots. For her efforts Love received the Air Medal.
