Summary
The extraordinary true story of the last surviving ‘Attagirls’ who flew planes from factories to the front line during the Second World War.
While their husbands, brothers and sweethearts fought in Europe and their mothers, sisters and friends kept the home fires burning, for the first time, a group of remarkable women took to the skies. They weren’t allowed into combat but risked their lives in bad weather and without radios to bring our boys the aircraft they so vitally needed.
