Summary:
The women of the Air Transport Auxiliary (ATA) came from every continent and every background but all were astonishingly brave. Although not allowed into combat, they provided a vital link for the RAF, and flew unarmed, without radios or instruments, at the mercy of the weather and long-range enemy aircraft, to deliver planes to the male pilots who would fly them into battle.
