| Notes |
- Mabel Rawlinson was one of a small number of women who died as pilots serving in the Army Air Corp in WWII. Mabel died alone, flying then crashing, at night, testing inferior planes for the government. Since women were not recognized as heros
in WWII, nor were they recognized as actual veterans, Mabel's heroic death sserving her country was not recognized by the US until 1972, at wich time her mother was formally provided with the du she deserved having lost a child to war. Since
1972, of course, women have been recognized correctly within the armed forces.
