The Women's Army Auxiliary Corps was established to service the army. These women did work on the home front. The jobs were positions women could do while the men had to fight on war fronts. Most auxiliaries, as they were called, worked as file clerks, typists, stenographers, or motor pool drivers, but gradually each service added of positions WAACs who were capable of filling. There were women who became pilots. They flew planes as shuttle pilots to deliver planes to specific placed. They would also shuttle around Generals and other high ranking officers. The women eventually worked in supply. Nurses worked in the army not the auxiliary. They were housed, fed, paid and given medical care but they were not paid as well as their male counterparts.
