(3) YA Extremely detailed and well-researched, this is the story of courageous women who flew transport planes, trained flight crews, and risked their lives testing old and new aircraft. Despite a lack of support from the military hierarchy, the WASPs were determined not to be limited by traditional gender roles and endured hazardous conditions and demanding schedules.Bib., glos., ind.
