Fort (1919-1943) was the first woman pilot, who served in the WAFS (Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron), to die on active duty in U.S. history. Based on first-hand accounts, Simbeck, a Nashville, Tennessee-based writer, recounts Fort's high society Southern upbringing, pursuit of her love of flying despite resistance to women pilots, and service at Pearl Harbor. Photographs are included. First published in 1999 by Grove/Atlantic. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
