A new bit of WW2 history for me about the RAF training airfield in Texas thru the majority of the war, and I also wasn’t aware of the criminal classification Americans were given if they joined up before the US did, initially barring them from returning.

There were periods of the book that were a little slower but for the most part I enjoyed the story of Jessie and Kitty as they worked with the cadets and officers who came to the airfield. The struggles Jessie faced as a female pilot and instructor was very indicative and typical of what many women in the war faced in that type of role, and I think conveyed well. The second half of the war was a little glossed over but I get it, as the focus was supposed to be focused on the initial pre-US-participation at the airfield.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
