A recent addition to my WASP collection:  An exercise suit worn by Grey Allison Hoyt 44-W4 during daily

calisthenics. I was also recently able to trade one of my winter santiago blue flight suits for the summer version.

Still looking to buy a summer version dress uniform, or trade for one of my extra winter versions.

This is ridiculously adorable.  Do you know the style or what this could be called?  First one I’ve seen.

The official name as listed in the WASP uniform regulations is: Suit Exercise Trainee.

Helen Schaefer's WASP grouping. Helen entered the Civilian Pilots Training Program and later became a WASP.

After the war she rose to the rank of Lt. Colonel in the Air Force Reserve. Her Civilian Pilot wings are the Sterling silver version.

I thought this looked familiar. This used to belong to Jack's Son.  While we know the W.A.S.P. patch with the bug is not a WASP patch, I wonder what happened to the other reunion type patch.   Also looks like the collar insignia was not in this group.

I have the patch and other documentation in a separate binder.
