Identify WWII uniform

Dear Gay 

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub. 

In order to provide a concise response, please indicate the specific records held by the National Archives you need help accessing in order to meet your request.

Based on a cursory search, the above uniforms may belong to the Women's Army Corps, Women's Accepted For Volunteer Emergency Service, and the Women's Airforce Service Pilots. We suggest you contact a local history museum or institution for further assistance. 

We hope this information is helpful. 

The plane on the belt buckles would seem to indicate WASP, ( Women Airforce Service Pilots) but I've not seen that belt buckle in their uniforms before. This site: http://www.blitzkriegbaby.de/ has good information on WWII women's uniforms.

Yes, your information give me something to start with.   I don't have any other information or specific records to go to the National Archives with.  Just this picture.  My mother is wearing the uniform and died when I was a young child.  Neither her parents or my dad are alive today.  I guess I'm a little late in inquiring about her military events.  Thank you for your assistance.

I can't find any uniforms with that belt buckle, but WASP would be my guess too.  I wonder if they made their own uniform with unique belt buckle.  Reading the information on the link you provided that seemed to be an option, although I'm sure certain regulations needed to be followed.  Just a guess.  Thank you for your reply.  I appreciate it.

I'm not convinced it's a U.S. military uniform. There is no rank insignia, no branch insignia, no identifying insignia of any kind other than the belt buckle. Is it possible she might have been a flight attendant? Or a pilot working for a commercial airline?

An interesting thought. I did find some 1940s era stewardess in similar looking uniforms. Here is one of the images I found.
