"THINGS ARE SURE / 'LOOKIN UP' / FOR ME! // AV206  ©MWM" linen Bursheen post card conveying with its bordering-on-the-risqué art on the novelty of women in Army aviation. Mailed free by Private Nolan 'Nolie' Johnson (in Squadron 376) FEB 12 1943 at Keesler Field in Mississippi to his friend Miss Mary Burkhart in Wapakoneta Ohio. 'Buy War Bonds and Stamps' printed below back message area. The sender ate well: he reported having turkey for lunch & strawberries for supper -- undoubtedly the former from Arkansas & the latter from California (given the time of year). He was 'taking calisthenics again' & reported moving around a lot. The sender closed with the observation that Judy Canova was there -- an actress who launched her own radio show in 1943 which lasted some 12 years. The postcard image was a reference to the Women's Flying Training Detachment (WFTD) & the Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS) both pioneering predecessors of the WASPs in the Army Air Corps. The ladies were experienced pilots who were used to primarily to ferry planes from the factories that made them to the airfields, freeing up men for combat missions. The WFTD & the WAFS existed briefly from September 10, 1942 until July 1943, so in our opinion the postcard image portraying the men's excitement over the Army women is almost as valuable as the message! $12.00 hm(a)s
