She definitely captured my attention and my heart as well as the other WASP women.
The story is told from the first person perspective of our main character, Audrey Coltrane and I absolutely loved her voice. NOELLE SALAZAR delivers an excellent, heartfelt, intriguing and well-written read here with wonderful, relatable, and well developed characters. THE FLIGHT GIRLS by NOELLE SALAZAR is an enlightening, powerful and emotionally compelling historical fiction novel that has us following along fictionalized character, Audrey Coltrane and her involvement in the WASP program (Women Airforce Service Pilots) during World War II. Shining a light on a little-known piece of history, The Flight Girls is a sweeping portrayal of women's fearlessness, love, and the power of friendship to make us soar. The bonds she forms with her fellow pilots reignite a spark of hope in the face war, and-when James goes missing in action-give Audrey the strength to cross the front lines and fight not only for her country, but for the love she holds so dear.
To make everything she's lost count for something, Audrey joins the Women Airforce Service Pilots program. 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. 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 she flies with. It's why she signed up to train military pilots in Hawaii when the war in Europe began. It's why she implored her father to teach her at the little airfield back home in Texas. Audrey Coltrane has always wanted to fly.
A stunning story about the Women Airforce Service Pilots whose courage during World War II turned ordinary women into extraordinary heroesġ941.
