Back in September1941 the first Wilson & Bonfils (W&B) Flying School cadets arrived in Chickasha. They were housed at the Chickasha Hotel until the school facilities were completed. The first class graduated on December 14, 1941. The school closed on June 6, 1945. During that time one of the least known facts was that the crew that kept the planes flying for the students was a group of women. A photo of these women appeared in only one of the class books but their names were withheld. If you have any photos or information that have the names of the women in the attached photo, please contact the Museum. We would appreciate having names of this group that kept the planes in the air. ([email protected]; 405-222-8714; or PO Box 1705, Chickasha, OK 73018).
