Veronica Shields

Columbus Ohio native, I was a Sargent in the Army from 1973 – 75. On retiring as an ER nurse, I decided to take some art classes through the VA. This photo is dedicated to my Mother, Patricia Newlon, one of the 1074 Women’s Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) who were the first women to fly US military aircraft. The BT-13 was a trainer.
