Elizabeth "Betty" Maxine Chambers (August 25, 1920 - May 11, 1961) was one of the first female pilots in the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program in which women took on non-combat flying duties so more male pilots were available for combat.
She was in WASP Class of 44-W-3 as part of the 318th Army Air Forces Flying Training Detachment.
She became a pilot shortly after her husband lost his life while flying, despite the fact that she had a new baby, and was the only recent widow and mother to have served as a WASP.
