Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
WASP pilots weren't considered military until 1977, meaning Cornelia's family got no benefits. The film's release in 2025 marks the 80th anniversary of her death.
Only 1,074 women became WASPs; 38 died in service. Cornelia was the first. Hollywood has made zero major films about them.
