LIST OF WASPs IN GOOD STANDING
Concurrently with the filling of this report, the undersigned is also filling for the record of the War Department a list of all WASP who ended the program in good standing, together with the number of hours flown by them, including hours flown in training, and their length of service, which also includes time spent in training. These WASP, plus the ones listed above in this report as killed during training or operational service, are the ones who would have been entitled to any veterans' benefits, if WASP had been militarized

This report would be incomplete without a tribute to the Commanding General of the Army Air Forces, whose vision and understanding made the women pilot program possible. Second only to General Arnold, thanks must be expressed to the former Deputy Commander, AAF and Chief of Air Staff, Lieutenant General Barney M. Giles, and the Commanding General of the AAF Training Command, Lieutenant General Barton K. Yount, who from the first never wavered in their enthusiastic support of the program and of the WASP. Special appreciation must also be expressed to Major General R. W. Harper for his help and advice to the Director of Women Pilots; to Brigadier General L. W. Miller for his assistance in problems dealing with financial requirements and budgets to Major General David N. W. Grant and Brigadier General Charles R. Glenn
