The Wright brothers made a airplane that could fly in the air for an extended time period. In the 1920s America became comfortable with the airplane. The airplane made traveling easier and mailing much easier. It changed American life ever since. Importing and exporting became way more easier. The airplane redefined the way wars were fought. Also, the airplane became one of the things the nation would depend on for technical power. Th Wright brothers made the airplane apart of the aircraft chain they created. Their aircraft chain went from one kite to three up until three powered airplanes. We use airplanes today as a way of traveling across the world and importing/exporting many material things.

WAVES stood for Women Accepted for Voluntary Emergency Services. WAVES was like a group for women who were called for help in the war. For example, women we called to be Navy Nurses during the war. Navy nurses didn't actually have a part in the war but just represent their gender in the Naval service. They also didn't have a formal officer position. The navy was preparing to accept females enlisted for war, but female commissioned officers to supervise them. This was a development of lasting significance. Also, it meant that women would only be around during war time, hence, "Emergency". Establishing WAVES was a lengthy process. The WAVES began in August 1942, when Mildred McAfee, president of Wellesley College, was sworn in as a naval reserve Lieutenant Commander. Mildred was the first commissionared officer and she was the first director of WAVES. On June 12, 1948, women gained permanent status in the armed services. October 15, 1948, the first eight women were commissioned in the regular Navy: Joy Bright Hancock, Quick Collins, Ann King, Frances Willoughby, Ellen Ford, Doris Cranmore, Doris Defenderfer, and Betty Rae Tennant took their oaths as naval officers.
