Spitfire Women of World War II

An amazing book about amazing women. These are the women who paved the way for the rest of us, breaking stereotypes so we could do or be anything we wanted to. Brave, fun, smart, sophisticated and funny, they broke as many barriers during WWII as they ferried fighter planes to the front. This book was easy to read, interesting, full of action and heartbreak and educational. If you want to read about strong women who made a difference, or aviation, or WWII or just enjoy a good book, this is the book to read next. I intend to find if this author has written anything else and if so, get it immediately. Bravo, Mr. Whittell, for bringing these wonderful women to the forefront where they belong, bravo!

The bravery was phenomenal. Their heroics kept the front line defence running.

Well researched and we'll written in a readable style that is equally informative and entertaining. This is an ideal book for everyone who is interested by the background to the Second World War, aviation history, or women's struggles to be better recognised and utilised during the twentieth century.

This is an excellent reading of those who flew in the ATA. Well researched, and many thanks to those who contributed to this story

it was ok, informative and gave an insight into the pre war lives and service record of the gals. I was hoping for a few of the referred to photos to be reproduced, but alas there were none.
