Its total membership at any given time did not exceed twenty-eight, and participants were picked from a pool of commercially-licensed female pilots with a minimum of 500 flying hours, along with other qualifications.

The Pennant is made of multiple pieces of felt, with an embroidered-on-felt USAAF Jacket Patch sewn to it as part of the construction. 

VINTAGE: World War II.

SIZE: Approximately: 8" in height by 23-3/4" in total length (not including ties).

MATERIALS / CONSTRUCTION: Multi-piece wool felt.

ATTACHMENT: Ties.

ITEM NOTES: This is from a WAFS & WASP Collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months. VHDX12 LDGEX10/12 SLGIEX11/13/24

CONDITION: 8- (Very Fine-Excellent): The pennant shows little wear; there is one small moth nip area within the insignia on the pennant. (Image 2)
