WOMEN TO FLY
COMBAT AIRPLANES
WASHINGTON. Sept. — The
Air Transport Command may
soon be placing women at the
controls of our fast combat plan
es for delivery assignment. Sec
retary of War Henry L. Stim
son told a news conference that
an experimental unit of women
pilots would be set up in the Air
Transport Command to be
known as the Women’s Auxiliary
Ferry Squadron.
There will be 50 of the 'WAFS
to begin with, all on Civil Serv- ;
ice basis. They will be restrict-;
ed to flying small planes—liaison j
and training aircraft—within the !
United States until it can be
seen how the plan will work out.
Pay of $3,000 Annually
While on civil service status,
the women pilots will receive
$3,000 a year. At the end of 90
days they may be appointed per
manently into the ‘WAFS.’
Requirements for women flyers
will be substantially the same as
those for men of the Air Trans
port Command.
Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins said that a large propor
tion of women in aircraft produc
tion can be trained to fill posi
tions requiring skill and respon
sibility. She also forsaw a great
increase in the number of women j
working in plane factories. Her j
statement was based on a nation
wide survey made by the wo
men's bureau of the Department
of Labor.
The survey report said that the
majority of plants place women
workers on the same pay scale
as men, usually 60 cents an hour.
Said the report:
Will Replace Young Men
“Up to the pesent women were I
hired largely to increase grow- j
ing production forces. However,
they will be recruited in large
numbers to replace young men
going into military service. One
company expects to take on 2000
additional women riveters. It is
estimated that 250,000 women
will be in the aircraft industry
by the end of this year as com
pared with 2000 women produc
tion workers in aircraft assem
bly plants late in 1941,’’
