1943213501943. Women's Army Corps service and female aviation training during World War II documented in photographs dating from approximately 1943 to 1945. The images record the wartime expansion of women's participation in the United States military following the establishment of the Women's Army Corps in 1943 and the parallel development of programs that placed women in aviation related roles supporting the war effort. The photographs depict women in uniform participating in military drill training activities and aviation work around small aircraft illustrating the increasing presence of women in technical and logistical positions that supported military operations during the war. One image taken at Treasure Island in San Francisco situates part of the archive within one of the major naval training and transit centers used by the United States during the conflict.<br /> <br /> Archive of 20 original black and white silver gelatin photographs dating from the World War II years. Several images show members of the Women's Army Corps posing in formation saluting and participating in organized training exercises. Other photographs depict women standing beside small aircraft preparing for flight or seated in cockpits suggesting involvement in aviation training or aircraft support work connected to wartime flight programs. Informal photographs show servicewomen gathered outside wooden barracks relaxing in flight gear and posing beside aircraft. One photograph identifies the location as Treasure Island San Francisco. Several prints contain handwritten inscriptions on the reverse identifying individuals and dates including notes such as "Sincerely Leona" along with named individuals including Sensabough Bash Braughton Rogers Mazie Paula and June and Kay Gallagher with Bud Sterthors and Donley.<br /> <br /> During World War II the Women's Army Corps allowed women to serve in uniform in administrative mechanical and communications positions that had previously been reserved for men while aviation related programs trained women to ferry aircraft and assist in technical flight operations. These initiatives formed part of the broader mobilization of American women into wartime labor and military service during the 1940s. Photographic documentation of female service members provides important visual evidence of the changing roles of women within the armed forces during the war. Photographs measure approximately 3.5 x 5 inches and are preserved as loose prints. Minor edge wear and light creasing visible on several photographs; overall very good condition. The archive offers concise visual documentation of women's military and aviation participation during the Second World War. unknown
