In an oral history interview, Dorothy Dodd Eppstein talks about her service in the Women Air Force Service Pilots group (WASP) from 1943 to 1944. Epstein discusses her education, the events which led her to enlist in the U.S. Army, her training on several types of aircraft, the resistance to women pilots among ground crews, social life on bases, and the poor quality of aircraft. She says that after the war, she and her husband built a Frank Lloyd Wright house in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that she was active in the anti-Vietnam War and women's movements and enjoyed a twenty year carer with the Veterans Administration. Eppstein is interviewed by Kathryn Cavanaugh.
