World War II Female Pilot turns 100 and Reunites with Her Love.
Dorothy Olsen, a pilot who flew during World War II, turned 100 on Sunday, and was able to reunite with an old love.
“There’s my baby!” Olsen exclaimed as she walked onto the tarmac at Joint Base Lewis-McChord and spotted the restored P-51 Mustang waiting for her.
Olsen is a former Women Airforce Service Pilot, or WASP, who helped ferry aircraft like the Mustang across the country during the war.
“She would pick up a P-51 in Long Beach where they were built, fly it across the country to Newark, where they would ship them to Europe,” explained Kim Olsen, her son.
