The TWU libraries' Women’s Collection is a repository of documents and artifacts of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), and scholars come to TWU to study the WASPs. Now, TWU will prepare pilots. This fall, TWU will open the Doswell School of Aeronautical Sciences to train new generations of pilots. It’s a program urgently needed to address an international pilot shortage. While senior pilots were reaching mandatory retirement, the airlines, facing financial strain because of the pandemic, offered early retirement to the next generation of pilots. However, when the world emerged from the COVID shutdown, a pilot deficiency was exposed. The TWU program will not just address that scarcity, it will create a more diverse group of aviators. The school will have its own aircraft and conduct flying lessons from a Denton-area airfield. 14 TEXAS WOMAN’S
