Strebe, a journalist and historian, tells the story of the 2000 American and Soviet women pilots who served in World War II and faced both combat risks and oppression from within the ranks. Written for general audiences as well as aviation and military buffs, this book is one of the first to directly compare the service of the WASPs and the Soviet airwomen and notes that while the former group did not fly in combat missions, they still experienced casualties while fighting for their country. The author has included numerous black-and-white photographs of these women fliers, and she devotes a special chapter to Marina Raskova, a Russian aviator whose achievements were considered tantamount to those of Amelia Earhart.
