Women Who Helped Win the War!
Part of the home front during WWII, Peggy Witherspoon loves to fly, and has been doing so for years. Widowed during the war, she wants to do her part to help, so became a member of the WASP Program–Women Airforce Service Pilots. Every woman must past rigorous requirements. Not only do they need to be good pilots, they must be able to service the airplanes, too. The work the women do frees up men to be in combat.
Despite their qualifications, some men have lots of animosity about women flying. Even though the women prove their value over and over, they are not always treated fairly, and men have purposely lied to them attempting to get them in trouble. WASPs are not an official military group, and are expected to pay for things that are normally provided for in the armed forces.
Peggy learns of some American soldiers being held captive in Cuba. Because of politics, no rescue effort has been mounted to get them back. Horrified, the women want to save them, but to do so will put their WASP careers in jeopardy.
Is this situation really true, or is it just another trick to drum the women out? Will Major Berg, who recently took charge of the women catch them, and prevent them from trying? Even if they rescue the men, will the women be kicked out for doing it?
In this tale, you will really get a feel for the time period, and what the WASPs were up against. The story will grab your interest, and you won’t let go until you find out what happens to these women. Told from a Christian point of view, this clean, 5-star book will be enjoyed by fans of WWII stories and the home front–along with some sprinkles of romance!
