robinb Posted February 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 17, 2020 Recent find. Musette bag with a wallet and ditty bag inside. Ran the number and found Margeret Prior from Milwaukee, WI, enlisted in 1943 as an Aviation Cadet. But there the trail goes cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwb123 Posted February 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted February 17, 2020 I am not sure how complete this roster is, but I am not finding your Margeret Prior listed here. https://www.wwii-women-pilots.org/rosters.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted February 17, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted February 17, 2020 Probably just wishful thinking on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted February 17, 2020 Share #4 Posted February 17, 2020 There was not a WASP named Margaret Prior. Plus, the WASP were never made a part of the regular Army. She could have been a WAC assigned to the Air Corps. They were nicknamed Airwacs. ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siege1863 Posted February 17, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 17, 2020 In past research, I have come across a few enlistment records for men that showed "Aviation Cadet." However, never found any evidence they trained as such or eventually flew. I believe it may be an erroneous code that is sometimes encountered.
