Sobre este artículo
New York: Ballantine Books, 1991. First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 9x6x1. First edition. Jacket edges lightly worn, gift note on free endpaper. 1991 Hard Cover. xiv, 255 pp. They were heroic women who came from every corner of the nation and every walk of life: debutantes, teachers, businesswomen, housewives, daughters of farmers, and factory workers. Almost two thousand of them were accepted into the rigorous Army Air Force flight training program and received their wings--flying with the desert sand in their eyes, with ice on their wings, serving side by side with men flyers. Yet for all their daring and commitment, the WASPs still had to battle red tape, jealous insinuations, and political pressure. Still, they flew on, often outclassing their male counterparts in efficiency, reliability, and physical stamina. Their story rings with all the courage, romance, and adventure of the lives these extraordinary women lived.
