Summary
today we're time traveling somewhere The Exploress has rarely been - World War II - to meet some of its daring female pilots. Turns out women flew some of the war's most dangerous aircraft, and our guest, Becky Aikman, is here to bring their stories roaring back to life. Her book, SPITFIRES, follows the incredible true stories of the twenty-five daring young aviators who bolted for England in 1942, becoming the first American women to command military aircraft. Let's join Becky as she tells us all about them.
