Initially viewed with scepticism, the female pilots who served with the Air Transport Auxiliary in Britain during World War II became a crucial, high-skilled and often unsung force that ferried 309,000 aircraft – from trainers to heavy bombers – from factories to Royal Air Force frontline bases, freeing up male combat pilots.

The flying conditions were often dangerous – the so-called 'Attagirls' were required to fly 'anything to anywhere', usually with no radios or navigational equipment, and in high-risk conditions. By the end of the war, 166 women from 26 different countries had flown for the ATA and 11 had received awards for their bravery.

This emotional and inspiring historical novel will both break your heart and then put it back together again.
