Hurricane girls is about the lady pilots, who before and during the war wanted to use their flying skills to help the war effort. The book covers the formation of the ferry service charged with moving all type of aircraft around the country.
There is detailed history on the lives of those courageous women who were flying with no radios and very limited restrictions.
They had to be twice as good as their mail counterparts because of the tremendous prejudices of women flying at that time. Some of them had tragic lives and some went on to be successful after the war.
Well written and researched.

A fascinating real-life account of the women of WW2 who were allowed to fly - starting from a requirement of hundreds of flight hours and only allowed to ferry the smallest planes from factory to squadron base, as the war heightened less initial experience was required and training was provided on larger and larger planes. No over-dramatisation, but a factual and interesting narrative.
