American pilot and Commander of the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (or WAFS, which was later absorbed into the Women Airforce Service Pilots, or WASP) Nancy Harkness Love (1914 – 1976) carries her helmet, goggles, and parachute as she walks across the tarmac of an unidentified airfield in England, September 1942.
