Billie finds a way into the ATA - a group of amazing pilots who

too old, or too injured for the air force. But many more are women.

and flying unfamiliar, broken planes, Billie is desperate to help.
But piloting fighter planes could turn out to be more than she

unit at school or a thirty year old with a secret passion for
airplanes, these books are for you! In this volume, you'll learn
