Review: Unknown flying women - Great book about the forgotten women who flew planes in wartime. They were from all parts of the country, were very brave and were often treated with little respect by their male counterparts. They were finally recognized many years after the war ended.
Review: Such an Important Read - It saddens me that as a retired, female Naval Officer and instrument rated private pilot I knew so very little about the WASPs. This book is well researched and written with great passion. It is a great read for anyone with an interest in woman who served their country during WWII and/or in aviation history. Most importantly this book shines a spotlight on these female aviators who were truly fearless and honorable! Thank you for writing this book!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Unknown flying women
*by J***K on January 18, 2026*

Great book about the forgotten women who flew planes in wartime. They were from all parts of the country, were very brave and were often treated with little respect by their male counterparts. They were finally recognized many years after the war ended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such an Important Read
*by S***L on February 13, 2024*

It saddens me that as a retired, female Naval Officer and instrument rated private pilot I knew so very little about the WASPs. This book is well researched and written with great passion. It is a great read for anyone with an interest in woman who served their country during WWII and/or in aviation history.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot believe we don't talk about the WASP!
*by K***E on January 23, 2021*

Read this book with some ladies for our feminist book club. I love history and this book was stuff full of crazy and unbelievably unique stories. I was shocked that I had never heard of any of this before. It is an inspiring and frustrating record of women who wanted to use their passion for flight to serve their nation in desperate times. They are involved with WWII so be prepared for the attitudes of the time to be grating and riddled with chauvinism. It was a truly fascinating read and well worth the time, i am still blown away that I had never before heard of the WASP!
