Ms. Verges gives a good overview of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II. The book introduces the reader to several women before the United States enter WW II and then follows them through the varied ways they serve their country. Some went to England to fly for the British ATA, some were WAF's, and others became WASP's. She tells how each group was formed and what each group's experiences were. I liked her more objective view. I have like biographies from WASP's and WAF's. This book put all of the groups together in one book.

Good book; gives an overview of the entire history, from WAFs and WFTD to WASP. Other WASP books have more anecdotes, which I enjoy, but for a readable history, this one's a good one.

Good review of the Women Airforce Service Pilots, who delivered the aircraft to the military airports during World War 2.
