FEMALE FEW: SPITFIRE HEROINES (PB)

Through the darkest days of the Second World War, an elite group of courageous civilian women risked their lives as aerial courier pilots, flying Lancaster bombers, Spitfires and many other powerful war machines in thousands of perilous missions. They flew unarmed, without radio and in some cases without instruments, in conditions where even unexpected cloud could mean disaster. In this book, five of these astonishingly brave women tell their awe-inspiring tales of incredible risk, tenacity and sacrifice.
