MICKEY BROWN SAYS WAR WORLD TWO TOOK EVERYONE BY SHOCK...BUT FOR MICKEY, ONE GOOD THING EMERGED FROM THE PAIN...SHE FELL INTO AVIATION.
AND DURING THE WAR THERE WERE A SELECT GROUP OF WOMEN PILOTS, THAT BECAME NOT ONLY PIONEERS BUT HEROINES. THEY WERE KNOWN AS THE WOMEN AIRFORCE SERVICE PILOTS, BUT THEY CALL THEMSELVES WASP FOR SHORT.
THEY WERE THE FIRST. AND THEY WERE THERE FOR OUR COUNTRY IN A TIME OF TRAGEDY.
NOW MICKEY WAS STATIONED IN DOTHAN, ALABAMA...BUT RIGHT HERE IN VICTORIA THE WASP BUZZED IN THE AIR, FLYING FROM FOSTER ARMY AIRFIELD.
MICKEY'S FAVORITE AIRPLANE WAS THE A-T-6, AND RECENTLY SHE TOOK BACK TO THE SKY IN A BRIGHT YELLOW ONE FOR ANOTHER RIDE.
MICKEY BROWN IS NOT ONLY OUR HOMETOWN HERO OF THE WEEK, SHE IS A HERO IN OUR COUNTRY.
