Acerca de esta escucha

Inspired by true events, a breathtaking WWII historical novel about the brave American women who trained the British Royal Air Force, by New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath.

1941. A talented flier, Jessie Lovelace yearns for a career in aviation. When the civilian flight school in her small Texas town begins to clandestinely train British pilots for the RAF, she fights to become an instructor. But the task isn’t without its perils of near-misses and death. Faced with the weight of her responsibilities, she finds solace with a British officer who knows firsthand the heavy price paid in war . . . until he returns to the battles he never truly left behind.

Rhonda Monroe might not be skilled in the air but can give a trainee a wild ride in a flight simulator. Fearing little, she dares to jeopardize everything for a forbidden relationship with a charismatic airman…

Innocent and fun-loving Kitty Lovelace, Jessie's younger sister, adores dancing with these charming newcomers, realizing too late the risks they pose to her heart.

As the war intensifies and America becomes involved, the Girls of Flight City do their part to bring a victorious end to the conflict, pouring all their energy into preparing the young cadets to take to the skies and defeat the dangers that await. And lives from both sides of the Atlantic will be forever changed by love and loss…

Excellent

I could not stop listening. There were laughs and tears and the author does a great job with all the details. It was like traveling back in time.

Be prepared for non-stop listening

I started this book in the morning and finished it this afternoon. The last hour with a box of tissues. Beautifully told story about WWII. A must read/listen.

War, wings, and women.

I really enjoyed another view and stories from WW II. The family and women’s relationships draw you as did the history of British pilots trained in the US.

This Flygirl Enjoyed this book!

Imagine that you are living in the time right before the US entered the 2nd WW. Living in a small Texas town with once a small airfield that your family had owned. Imagine the sacrifice that it took when death occured and you were made to give up the one thing that made you "you." Flying! Now imagine that you were a woman in the 1940s having to do this.
I loved this book. It seemed very well thought out and researched. I had NO IDEA that the RAF trained pilots in Northern Texas!!!! I enjoyed the emotions brought forward to the reader in the book. It was easy to listen to and to read. (I did both.) For these reasons, I recommend Girls of Flight City by Lorraine Heath to anyone looking for a more 20th century read.

loved it.

I enjoy WW2 stories. this one will make you want to do your own research on the airbase school in Texas. for me the best books are ones that make you dig a little deeper in to the history behind the story. I even enjoyed the little love story behind it all.
the reader was good she kept me interested in the story.
I would listen to more books by this author and reader.
