WOMEN PILOTS VOLUN-
TEER—Services of the 200 Tex-
as women who hold licenses as
airplane pilots were tendered to
the state and federal goverh-
menu early this week by Miss
Mary Waurine Hunter of Austin,
vice chairman of the Texas unit
of the 99 Club, an international
association of women pilots which
was founded by the late Amelia
Earhart.
Of the 200 licensed women
pilots, sixteen hold commercial
licenses, the remainder private
licenses, Miss Hunter said. Four
hundred other Texas women are
in training for private license
tests, she added.
The offer is being considered
by the Texas Defense Guard, Col.
Neill H. Bannister of the adjutant
general’s office, in charge of the
defense guard activities, said.
“We feel that we can do a great
deal for our country in relieving
male pilots of such duties as
aerial messenger service in time
of emergency or invasion,” Miss
Hunter said. “We are not seeking
glory, nor publicity. The majority
of the 200 women in Texas who
hold pilots’ licenses are working
girls. We could do ambulance
work and carry out a large num-
ber of other assignments. We
feel that we are qualified in every
way. We have had to take and
pass exactly the same physical,
flight and wrjtten examinations
men do in order to get our
licenses. 3—
“It is for this reason that we
feel we should be accepted upon
an equal footing in the various
aerial squadrons of the Texas
Defense Guard. Several of • us
have already flown in practice
formations with members of the
guard and I believe it can be said
that we have compared favorably
with the men while in the air.
At least a good many of them
have been kind enough to say so."
