In the global theatre of contemporary warfare, courage and
endurance are crucial for overcoming adversity. However, for
Caroline Paige, a jet and helicopter navigator in the Royal Air
Force, adversity was a common companion both on and off the field
of battle.In 1999, Paige became the first ever openly serving
transgender officer in the British military. Already a highly
respected aviator, she rose against the extraordinary challenges
placed before her to remain on the front line in the war on terror,
serving a further sixteen years and flying battlefield helicopters
in Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan.Detailing the emotional
complexities of her transition, Paige reveals the external threats
she faced in warzones around the world and the internal conflict
she suffered while fighting prejudice at home. The result is a
story of secrecy and vulnerability, of fear and courage, of
challenge and hope.Criss-crossing battle lines both foreign and
domestic, True Colours is the unflinchingly honest and
inspirational account of one woman's venerable military career and
the monumental struggle she overcame while grappling with gender
identity on the quest for acceptance.
