This book is an international comparative analysis on the women pilots ofBritain's Air Transport Auxiliary, the Soviet Union's Aviation Group 122, and the UnitedStates' Women's Auxiliary Air Force, Women's Flying Training Detachment, and theWomen Airforce Service Pilots during World War II. Women pilots in these groups weremotivated by three different factors in each country to aid the war effort and thatdetermination was a common thread among these groups that drove them to serve theircountries' militaries. What made the pilots' efforts stand out was that they offered theAllies an advantage over the Axis Powers in terms of utilizing an additional workforce.Unfortunately, these women are widely unrecognized for this advantage and are brushedaside. It is important to recognize the significance of how these women impacted theAllies socially and militarily, and this work aims to expand the discussion in World WarII studies.
