JUPITER, FLORIDA – June 27, 2022

On a sleepy Sunday morning in December of 1941, a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor plunges the U.S. into the terrors of World War II. Every American must do their part, including 12-year-old Dawn Springfield, who comes face to face with some of the bravest female pilots in American history.

In her new children’s book, Flying Fillies: The Sky’s the Limit, author Christy Hui masterfully portrays the obstacles and triumphs of the WASPs, Women Airforce Service Pilots, intertwined with Dawn’s coming of age. The young girl’s encounters with the WASPs, or the Flying Fillies as she nicknames them, instill in her newfound confidence in grappling with growing pains.

This book holds a special place in the author’s heart. “I was born in China, one of four daughters. So when I stumbled upon a WASP story in my local newspaper, I was hooked!!” Author Hui continues, “the WASPs’ patriotism, discipline, and values make them inspiring heroines for kids of every generation. Girls today need role models like Dawn and the WASPs to help them discover their true worth. And it’s a lot more than just looking pretty. “

Through laughter and tears, triumph and disaster, Dawn watches as the WASPs overcome every obstacle and soar to new heights. They show her that girls can dream big and do extraordinary things—for the sky’s the limit!

Thanks to the support of the National WASP WWII Museum in Sweetwater, Texas, the book showcases historical photos bringing to life real heroines who shattered glass ceilings in the U.S. Air Force eighty years ago.
