Acerca de esta escucha

Three skilled aviators determined to help win the war. Three brave women who know their place is not at home.

At the height of World War II, the British Air Transport Auxiliary need help. A group of young women volunteer for action, but the perils of their new job don’t end on the tarmac. Things are tough in the air, but on the ground their abilities as pilots are constantly questioned.

There is friction from the start between the new recruits. Spirited American Lizzie turns heads with her audacity, but few can deny her flying skills. She couldn’t be more different from shy, petite Ruby, who is far from diminutive in the sky. It falls to pragmatic pilot May to bring the women together and create a formidable team capable of bringing the aircraft home.

As these very different women fight to prove themselves up to the task at hand, they are faced with challenges and tragedies at every turn. They must fight for equal pay and respect while handling aircraft that are dangerously ill-equipped; meanwhile, lives continue to be lost in the tumult of war.

Determined to assist the war effort doing what they love, can May, Lizzie and Ruby put aside their differences to overcome adversity, and will they find love in the skies?

Katharine Mary Stanley Smith Hirsch was an ATA pilot and a credited pilot in the RAF. Her story is documented in Spitfire Women of WWII where a chapter is dedicated to her. So, this book was so very real to my heart. It is an excellent “factional” retelling of the stories of these women. The author is to be commended on her research and continuing the history of our women heroes in WWII. Thank-you from the Hirsch family.

If you are interested, there is a wonderful museum in Maidenhead, England called Grandma Flew Spitfires.

A great representation of why they were the greatest generation. So many ceilings and feats occurred by men and women of all backgrounds. Too bad the woke generation just doesn’t understand what the wwII generation did to expand our freedoms. God bless them.
Loved the authors note at the end stating how this was loosely based on real people.

What a great story! Women my age (baby boomers\ post WWII) would enjoy this story and our granddaughters would find inspiration from this story. The author's words at the end, regarding the real women of this story who inspired this book , further demonstrated how important it was to be written and to reach a large audience. Thank you Audiobooks!

I have listened to several of S. Lanes's books. They are easy to follow when taking my morning walk. They are dictation, but based on true events that cover stories that are less known about ww2.

Great fictional story based on true events

How will we leave our mark in history? How do we deal with sadness and grief? How do we deal with the expectations of our parents? How do we serve our country in times of war and need? Leadership, friendship, bravery and love. All of these things are themes in this historical novel. Great interesting and clean read! Love it.

I truly love this genre. Strong independent women who have their own reasons for doing what they love. I will definitely look for this author again.

Felt like I knew every character
