Biography
American aviator, one of the first female pilots in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program in which women took on non-combat flying duties so more male pilots were available for combat. She was in WASP Class of 44-W-3 as part of the 318th Army Air Forces Flying Training Detachment. She became a pilot shortly after her husband lost his life while flying in 1942, despite the fact that she had a new baby, and was the only recent widow and mother to have served as a WASP. As a pilot she flew North American AT-6 advanced trainers, PT-17 biplane primary trainers, Beechcraft AT-10 twin-engineer trainers, and the BT-25.
Chambers married twice and had a son. She died on 11 May 1961 at age 40 in Los Angeles, California.
