“Anything To Anywhere” – The unsung heroine pilots of WW2
They weren't supposed to be fighter pilots. But without them, the war effort would have been very different.
During the Second World War, a remarkable group of women pilots took on an essential role in British aviation.
Members of the Air Transport Auxiliary, these women flew aircraft of all types from factories and airfields to wherever they were needed.
Their work included delivering aircraft, helping to keep the supply of aircraft moving and freeing male pilots for operational duties.
They faced difficult flying conditions, unfamiliar aircraft and considerable personal risks, often with little recognition for their contribution.
Alan tells the fascinating story of these largely unsung heroines, whose courage, determination and flying skills made a significant contribution to the Allied war effort.
A compelling tribute to women whose remarkable achievements deserve to be remembered.
