More than 2000 women in the United States, Great Britain, Germany
and the Soviet Union flew military airplanes in organized units
during World War II, yet their stories are largely unknown. These
pilots ferried aircraft, flew targets for ground artillery
practice, tested airplanes and equipment, and many of them flew in
combat. The women pilots proved that they could manage bombers and
fighters as well as their male counterparts, and several later
remarked that "the airplanes didn't care who flew them." Topics
covered include the training of female pilots, how female flight
units were developed and structured, the hazards of conflict, and
how these women reintegrated into civilian life following the war.
