Women's Flying Training Detachment : ウィキペディア英語版 | Women's Flying Training Detachment The Women's Flying Training Detachment was a group of women pilots during World War II. Their main job was to take over male pilot's jobs, such as ferrying planes from factories to United States Army Air Force installations, in order to free male pilots to fight overseas. They later merged with the Women Airforce Ferrying Squadron (formerly the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron) to form the Women Airforce Service Pilots. ==Early history== While on a trip to England, Jacqueline Cochran observed that an organization had been founded for English women pilots to do jobs for male pilots, such as plane ferrying. Being quite interested, she contacted General Henry H. Arnold suggesting that a similar organization be founded in the United States. He approved on September 15, 1942, and the Women's Flying Training Detachment was born.〔http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/shared/media/document/AFD-070323-027.pdf〕 Around the same time, some other women pilots, such as Nancy Harkness Love, were also founding similar organizations in which female pilots replaced male pilots in order that the men could be moved to more important duties.〔http://www.wingsacrossamerica.us/wasp/resources/index.htm〕〔http://www.wingsacrossamerica.us/wasp/records.htm〕
