At home in the cockpit of many planes are Mrs. Nancy Harkness Love, left, and Mrs. Anne McClellan Formed With 50 Flyers, Air Unit Now Numbers 300 By Terry Flynn Be they hot or cold-- fighter ships of tremendous speeds or lumbering cargo planes-- the girls of the Ferrying Division can fly them. Mrs. Nancy Harkness Love who represents the WASP on the staff of Brig. Gen. William H. Tunner, commanding general of the Ferrying Division, credits "her girls" with these abilities as they mark, their 18th month with the division. The month with the division. The women of the Ferrying Division are part of the Army's Women's Air Force Service Pilots. "We fly anything that's built, nothing is too hot," said Mrs. Love, who is one of the few women capable of piloting a Flying Fortress. Officially, WASP flyers pilot 44 different models of aircraft on ferrying missions throughout the United States and Canada. "If it's a Thunderbolt or Mustang, transport or a Fort," said Mrs. Love, "there is a woman in the WASP who can fly it. We're taking them back and forth across the country every day." Mrs. Love, whose offices are with the Ferrying Division headquarters in Cincinnati, said the WASP still is confined tot he continental United States for flights. The women of the Ferrying Division, who first were organized in September, 1942, with less than 50 members, now number more than 300. WASP flyers, other than those in the Ferrying Division, pilot transport ships and are at the controls of planes towing targets for fighter pilot training. Mrs. Love wonders what place women will have in aviation of tomorrow. "Everyone is seeking the answer to that question," she said. I guess they'll just keep flying new that comes out.
