Winning My Wings

Now a successful writer, Hodgson recounts her experience in the experimental Woman Airforce Service Pilots program beginning in 1943. She and he sister pilots learned to fly a wide range of military aircraft and provided stateside service in order to free their male counterparts for combat duty overseas. Much of the story is told in her contemporary letters to a pilot recovering from a fiery crash. No index or bibliography. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
