Some WASP delivered the B-25s & B-26s to forward bases. They say they never saw combat but some were jumped during the war.

I saw a special on them. They flew really large airplanes with manual controls overseas for delivery from plants in the US. Think the dangerous part was when the flew a damaged one home as a group to get another squadron. Then not allowed to fly war was over go home now.

WASP flew strictly within the US. Most were couriers. But some were testpilots. None saw combat.
