They ferried planes from factories to bases, transporting cargo and participating in simulation strafing and target missions, accumulating more than 60 million miles in flight distances and freeing thousands of male U.S. pilots for active duty in World War II. More than 1,000 WASPs served, and 38 of them lost their lives during the war. Considered civil service employees and without official military status, these fallen WASPs were granted no military honors or benefits, and it wasn't until 1977 that the WASPs received full military status. While women worked in a variety of positions previously closed to them, the aviation industry saw the greatest increase in female workers.

In the music industry there are nodirect substitutes for any artist or band as they are all unique. Skilful marketing has created a specific image of each artist which results in brand loyalty. Even if a "better" singer emerges, Madonna has the advantage of brand loyalty, and will therefore continue to sell records and concert tickets for as long as she performs. This brand loyalty that Madonna has generated makes her an attractive prospect for record companies - they will sell many more records if they are sung by Madonna than if they were sung by Josephine Bloggs.
