The Flying Girls
Initially viewed with scepticism, these women became a crucial, high-skilled, and often unsung force that ferried 309,000 aircraft—from trainers to heavy bombers—from factories to Royal Air Force frontline bases, freeing up male combat pilots.
The flying conditions were often dangerous—the so-called 'Attagirls' were required to fly 'anything to anywhere', usually with no radios or navigational equipment, and in high-risk conditions.
The Flying Girls captures the bravery and determination of these remarkable women, shedding light on their vital contributions during a time of great turmoil.
