1000 hours, but the fatality rate was substantially higher, boosted by a number of multiple death accidents in very heavy, heavy, and medium bombers. The fatality rate was highest among WASPs in the Ferrying Division of Air Transport Command, where it was .135 per 1000 hours, divided into .120 per 1000 hours for the graduates of the training program and .210 for the original WAFS. The fatality rate for WASPs in operations outside of the Ferrying Division was .068 per 1000 hours. There was not a single fatality among WASPs while flying the B-26's and Fortresses, although WASPs flew approximately 30,000 hours in these multi-engined bombers, and the accident rate was only .237 per 1000 hours as compared with an accident rate among male pilots in similar work of .300 per 1000 hours.
