Based on the true World War II stories of America's first female
military pilots, this historic novel follows the story of a young
woman from a dirt-poor farm family. Sally Ketchum has little chance
of bettering her life until a mysterious barnstormer named Tex
teaches her to fly and to dare to love. But when Tex dies in a
freak accident, Sally must make her own way in the world. She
enrolls in the U.S. military's Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)
program at a special school known as Avenger, where she learns to
fly the biggest, fastest, meanest planes. She also reluctantly
becomes involved with Beau Bayard, a flight instructor and aspiring
writer who seems to offer her everything she could want. Despite
her obvious mastery of flying, many members of the military are
unable to accept that a "skirt" has any place in a cockpit. Soon
Sally finds herself struggling against a high-powered Washington
lawyer that wants to close down Avenger once and for all.
