Story
1941. Audrey Coltrane has always wanted to fly. It's why she implored her father to teach her at the little airfield back home in Texas. It’s why she signed up to train military pilots in Hawaii when the war in Europe began. And it’s why she insists she is not interested in any dream-derailing romantic involvements, even with the disarming Lieutenant James Hart, who fast becomes a friend as treasured as the women with whom she flies. Then one fateful day, she gets caught in the air over Pearl Harbor just as the bombs begin to fall, and suddenly, nowhere feels safe.

At 31, Casey is still clutching onto something nearly all her old friends have let go of: the determination to live a creative life.

Yassssssss!!
You know you have a good book when the very masculine voice that is Dawson McBride can deliver a wonderful female persona as well as a charismatic male counterpart. This book was awesome.
It's set in the barely disguised misogynistic past when women needed to be seen and not heard. Our Lady Flyer was not having any of that! This was a great story and a wonderful historical reminder of the genesis of the aviation industry.
