Our exhibit, “History of Women in the Marine Corps” has
received wide acclaim as the most complete history of women who served
in the Corps from World War I to the present. On display are ten period
uniforms, photographs of women performing various assignments and
photos of female General Officers.
Highlights
of the exhibit include the flight suit of the first female aviator
in the Marine Corps, the helmet of the first female jet pilot, a display
of aviation and training memorabilia, and the General Officer “stars”
of the first female Brigadier General and Lieutenant General. This
is a “must see to appreciate” room.
