From Powder Puff Derby to Air Race Classic – Women Pilots in the Air
...In 1944, when it was clear the war was won, the WASP were summarily disbanded. They weren’t needed anymore, so they were allowed to pay their way home. (And forgotten for over 30 years by the US government.)
But over a thousand female pilots didn’t want to be grounded, and those who could afford to kept on flying. In 1947, therefore, the Powder Puff Derby was resurrected, and for 30 years these women, and many others who acquired their license after the war, flew across country each year to great acclaim and publicity.
In 1985, seven years after the last Powder Puff Derby was flow, the AWTAR put out a yearbook of all 30 races, with dozens of photos of the women, their planes, and the sponsors through the years. (AWTAR stands for All Women’s Transcontinental Air Race, as the Derby was officially known.) ...
