An incredible tale of the bravery of the Women Airforce Service Pilots during World War II, which transformed regular women into remarkable heroes
1941. It has always been Audrey Coltrane's dream to soar. She begged her father to educate her at the little airstrip near her Texas house because of this. That's why, when the war in Europe broke out, she volunteered to teach military pilots in Hawaii. She further states that she has no interest in having any sexual relationships that could derail her dreams, even with the charming Lieutenant James Hart, with whom she quickly becomes as close of a friend as the women she flies with. After that, on that fateful day, when she finds herself in the air over Pearl Harbor just as the bombs start to drop, nowhere seems secure anymore.
In an attempt to give meaning to all that she has lost, Audrey enlists in the Women Airforce Service Pilots program. When James goes lost in battle, the relationships Audrey makes with her fellow pilots give her the courage to cross the front lines and fight for her nation as well as the love she so deeply loves. These friendships also reignite a flame of optimism in the face of war.
The Flight Girls is a sweeping depiction of women's boldness, love, and the ability of friendship to lift us above the clouds, shedding light on a little-known chapter in history.
