As part of Auto-Ordnance’s ongoing series of custom 1911s paying tribute to the men and women who supported America’s drive towards victory in World War II, the “Fly Girls” 1911 is proudly introduced. This custom pistol honors the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) who played a vital role in the war effort.

Over 1000 women served as pilots during WWII , taking on vital roles operating aircraft in non-combat positions so their male counterparts could directly engage the enemy. These women aviators were pioneers in the profession, facing all of the risks and challenges shared by pilots of the time period.

By war’s end, 38 had given their lives in service to their country. Auto-Ordnance is proud to honor the dedication and sacrifice of the WASPs with this beautifully engraved and finished custom 1911 pistol!
