Elizabeth Strohfus (November 15, 1919 – March 6, 2016) was an American aviator and pioneering member of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II. Strohfus, one of just 1,074 female pilots to earn silver wings for the WASPs, flew noncombat missions from 1943 to 1944, often ferrying military planes throughout the United States.[1] She also trained male air and infantry gunners at Las Vegas Army Airfield during the early 1940s.[1][2][3] Elizabeth Strohfus was the recipient of two Congressional Gold Medals for her service in the WASPs and was inducted into the Minnesota Aviation Hall of Fame.[1] She was believed to be one of the last surviving WASP aviators.[1]
