1. Were not all WASPS stationed in the US?


Strictly speaking, the word is WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots).

2. Did they ferry airplanes to England? If so, did they they then
fly RAF aircraft around Britain, or did they promptly return to the
US?


I think Emmannuel was referring to women who first worked for the RAF,
then transferred to the WASP after October 1942. There is a novel,
later TV mini-series, about such a woman, and I assume her character
was based on reality.

I'm not asking about ATA, or the British use of British women to ferry
airplanes, which I think is what Art is talking about.
