Octavo, white cloth & blue boards (hardcover), x, 334 pp. Good, with some underlining; in a Very Good dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: From 1942 to 1944, almost two thousand women pilots left their civilian lives as students, movie stuntwomen, secretaries, blackjack dealers, and wives with husbands overseas to converge on Avenger Field, Sweetwater, Texas. There, the only all-female cadet air base in history, they slipped into ill-fitting men's GI flying suits and marched into the "Army Way" of flife. Six months later, the Women's Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) were ready to fly every airplane in America's air arsenal, from the colossal B-29 Superfortress to the lightning-fast P-51 Mustang fighter. These unsung heroines flew some of World War II's most dangerous missions, many that men refused to perform. "If there was a doubt in anyone's mind that women can become skillful pilots," said the Commanding General of the Army Air Forces, "the WASPS have dispelled that doubt." But not before they were forced to fight for transition training to bigger airplanes, subjected to unnecessary physicals, even jailed, for being what they were -- the most adventurous superwomen of the war era. Over seventy of these air heroines were killed or injured, flying for their country. As well as relating the story of the WASPS, Sally Keil tells the romantic story of America's entry into the Air Age. She recreates the era of barnstormers, biplanes and record-breaking air races, when our century was just awakening to the awesome potential of the airplane and America's new role as world air power. It was an era wildly exuberant in its idolization of the heroes and heroines of the air -- Lindbergh, Byrd, Earhart, Cochran, whose stories are told here. The book is also a splendid history of World War II, the gretest mobilization of capabilities America has ever known -- and the world's first air war, fought with the aid of these special women, who, along with their brothers, emerged from small-town obscurity to become the pilot elite of that war.
