Highlights

During wwii the air was a battlefield all its own and those with the best planes won more often
I am very pleased i purchased this book
It is thoughtful and nonadversarial in its treatment of both race and gender issues
I was fascinated with the personal stories of each of these women with their determination and resilience and with the sacrifices they made
