Agnes S. Montague: Women Pilots in World War II, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

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