Summary

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of The Hurricane Girls by Jo Wheeler, read by Claire Rushbrook. 

While their husbands, brothers and sweethearts fought in Europe and their mothers, sisters and friends kept the home fires burning, for the first time, a group of remarkable women took to the skies. They weren't allowed into combat but risked their lives in bad weather and without radios to bring our boys the aircraft they so vitally needed. 

Employed by the Air Transport Auxiliary, these women were known as 'attagirls'. They proved that women, too, could master Spitfires, Mosquitoes and Hawker Hurricanes, forging a new path in aviation. 

The Hurricane Girls is the fascinating, moving and inspirational story of bravery, determination and remarkable women.

A wonderful and poignant read

I was a little sceptical when I started this book but the detail and the personal stories of those brave young women who risked their lives in their efforts to help the war effort. And all done at a time when their strength, courage and endurance was so underappreciated. Not any more ...!

This is an excellent tribute to some courageous and determined ladies. I'd recommend this book unreservedly.
