The W.A.S.P. -- A WW2 Short Film

An incredible true story about the first Chinese-American woman to fly for the U.S. Military. Hazel Ying Lee is a mischievous, driven and brave woman who wants to serve her country in any way she can.  And for her, that means joining the Women Aviation Service Pilots to ferry planes from the manufacturing plants to their launch point on the East Coast to be used in World War II.  But when her plane crashes in the middle of Texas, she has to fight racial stereotypes and a farmer with a pitchfork…
