She set numerous records and was the first woman to break the sound barrier on 18 May 1953. Cochran (along with Nancy Love) was the wartime head of the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) (1943?1944), which employed about 1000 civilian American women in a non-combat role to ferry planes from factories to port cities.
