Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom!

Today, we’re stepping back into the 1940s, to a moment in World War II when the United States desperately needed pilots. Not just any pilots, but more pilots. Faster and in larger numbers than ever before.

What came next was an unexpected revolution in military aviation.

This is the story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots known simply as the WASP, the first women in U.S. history to fly military aircraft.

This is the remarkable story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots.

Stay curious, keep your wings level and may your breakfast be hot and your coffee strong.

Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom.

Today’s story is about a woman I stumbled upon in my research about someone else. I found this woman interesting and deserving of her own episode rather than a highlight in someone else’s. Here is the back story of how I found Doris. I found a list of names I made 3 years ago. My list contained the names and links to the 11 confirmed murders the Barrow Gang committed. Bonnie and Clyde were credited with killing many more people than they should have.

I will tell you the story of a young widow who carried her husband’s gun, wore his badge, and changed what it meant to be a Texas Ranger.

Her name… was Doris Elizabeth Brown Wheeler.

Doris was believed to be the last surviving widow of the infamous bank robbers' victims.

Thanks for joining us at our breakfast table. Please leave us a rating and review any where you listen to our little show, it really helps us to reach new ears.
