Description
Three skilled aviators determined to help win the war. At the height of World War II, the British Air Transport Auxiliary needed help, and a group of young women volunteered for action. However, their new job came with perils both in the air and on the ground. The women's abilities as pilots were constantly questioned, leading to friction from the start. Spirited American Lizzie turned heads with her audacity, while shy Ruby proved herself to be far more capable than she appeared. Pragmatic pilot May brought the women together, creating a formidable team that could bring aircraft home safely. Despite their differences, they faced numerous challenges and tragedies as they fought for equal pay and respect. As these women worked to assist the war effort, doing what they loved, they also had to navigate the dangers of flying ill-equipped aircraft. Lives were lost in the tumult of war, but determined to make a difference, May, Lizzie, and Ruby put aside their differences to overcome adversity.
