Air Force Space Command Airmen, Capt. Ildiko Devai and Staff Sgt. Wilvelisse Ayala, listen as Bette Jo Reed, a Women’s Air Service Pilot during World War II, plays her guitar at the Denver Veterans Affairs Medical Center Feb. 14. Reed, 89, trained to fly at Sweetwater, Texas, later ferried aircraft around the U.S. to free up male pilots for combat missions overseas. “We were just happy to be there,” she said of the female pilots of that era. Airmen from AFSPC visited as part of the annual “Salute to Veteran Patients.” (U.S. Air Force photo/Duncan Wood)
