By THOMAS GNAU | Dayton Daily News, Ohio | Published: March 5, 2021 DAYTON, Ohio (Tribune News Service) Women have played integral roles in Air Force history even before there was an Air Force, and a new exhibit at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force brings new attention to that dimension of military history. The exhibit, titled Women in the Air Force: From Yesterday into Tomorrow, surveys historical milestones, changes in laws and attitudes and the many contributions of women to the Air Force mission. Air Force Museum Curator Christina Douglass said the role of women in aviation, the U.S. Army Air Corps and the Air Force has never been neglected at the museum. But this exhibit ties strands of history together in new ways that makes the subject ripe for exploration.

It is currently being installed in several galleries throughout the museum and will be completed in early 2021.
