LADY FLYER by @authorhbmoore
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
History can be more fascinating than fiction and Heather B. Moore masterfully combines the two in LADY FLYER. Miss Nancy Harkness was a real person and a pioneer of women’s aviation. She received her pilot’s license as a teen and during WWII advocated and led programs (WAFS and WASPS) that allowed female pilots to ferry airplanes for the army. As well as training more women to be pilots. She faced a lot of sexism (women weren’t allowed to fly during their menstrual cycles), but continued to lead by example. I loved all of the historical details, but my favorite parts were the romance between Nancy and Bob Love. A must read for historical fiction fans.
Other recommended books about female pilots during WWII: FLYGIRL by Sherri L. Smith and AMONG THE RED STARS by Gwen C. Katz.
