Based on actual events, a magnificent historical novel set during World War II centers on the courageous American women who trained the British Royal Air Force. The New York Times bestselling author Lorraine Heath has written this enthralling tale.
Jessie Lovelace, a gifted aviator with a burning desire to pursue a career in aviation, finds herself in 1941. When her small Texas town starts covertly training British pilots for the RAF, she embarks on a mission to become an instructor. However, the task comes with its fair share of perilous near-misses and the constant threat of death. With the weight of her responsibilities pressing upon her, Jessie finds solace in the company of a British officer who has firsthand experience of the devastating consequences of war.
Rhonda Monroe, although lacking in aviation skills, possesses a unique talent for giving trainees exhilarating flight simulator experiences. Fearless and audacious, she ventures into dangerous territory by engaging in a forbidden relationship with a charismatic airman.
Jessie's younger sister, Kitty Lovelace, adores dancing with the charming newcomers, oblivious to the risks they pose to her heart. As the war escalates and America becomes embroiled in the conflict, the Girls of Flight City rally together, dedicating their efforts to preparing the young cadets for their maiden flights. Their unwavering determination is fueled by a shared goal: to bring an end to the war and ensure victory.
In the midst of this tumultuous period, love and loss intertwine, shaping the lives of individuals on both sides of the Atlantic. The Girls of Flight City, through their bravery and resilience, leave an indelible mark on history, serving as a testament to the unwavering spirit of women who defied expectations and played a pivotal role in shaping the course of the war.
