Gorgeous pictures, everyone! I even love the Marilyn sculpture.

Can anyone ID this uniform (c. 1940s)? She (I think it's a girl) certainly looks happy in it.

Alisande,,,I think that uniform is the WASP uniform.

During World War II there was a severe shortage of pilots so all male pilots in the military were assigned to combat units.

Out of necessity the Army Air Corp trained women to fly military aircraft and they were used to fly new replacement aircraft from the manufacturer out to the combat units world wide.

It must also be noted that while flying those new aircraft into the combat areas the airplanes had no guns or ordinance on board so they basically had no way to defend themselves, yet they managed to deliver hundreds upon hundreds of bombers, fighters and transport aircraft from the states to England, Russia and into the Pacific region.

Although history has given them very little recognition, as a veteran I would like to go on record as saying those were some of the true heros.
