ADDRESS REPLY TO

WAR DEPARTMENT
OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF THE AIR CORPS
WASHINGTON
July 29 , 1941
a
To all women holders of licenses
A survey is being made to determine the feasibility of forming,
under Government auspices, an auxiliary organization of women pilots
for the ferrying of certain categories of airplanes. No conclusions
have been reached as to the future of such an organization, and it
has not been determined whether it should be formed on a military or
civilian basis, temporary or permanent.
You will aid in a prompt compilation of such a survey by filling
in and returning immediately the questionnaire in the addressed en-
velope, enclosed for that purpose.
Even if you are unable or unwilling to participate actively in
such an organization, if formed, nevertheless you are requested to
fill in and return the questionnaire so that the survey may be com-
plete as to both available and unavailable women pilots. It may
be assumed, for purposes of the questionnaire, that, if the services
of women pilots are utilized, they will obviously receive compen-
sation.
Please note that a space has been left in the questionnaire
for the insertion of such additional data as you believe necessary
for the completion of the records a.s to your availability now or in
the future.
Your very prompt attention is urged. Romettes
Air Corps Ferrying Command
