Women Pilots of World War II
From the Series Heroes of World War II (Alternator Books ® )
When World War II began, many countries did not allow women pilots to be in the military. But as the war went on, these countries began to face a shortage of pilots. Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union all began recruiting women pilots to support the war effort.
These women pilots flew hundreds of military planes. They often put themselves in danger to serve their countries. However, their countries did not always recognize their work. Through stories of training, missions, and the fight for recognition, learn more about the women who took to the skies to serve their countries.
