Recommended by book professionals, parents, and grandparents, Hui’s debut novel is inspired by true events and introduces readers to the unsung, heroic WASP—Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII. “The WASP were some of the bravest female pilots in American history—an elite flying squadron that offered invaluable service to the country in WWII,” Lisa Taylor, executive director of the National WASP WWII Museum, says. “I’m delighted to see the WASP story spotlighted in this engaging historical fiction,” added Taylor.
“Selecting good books for children matters now—more than ever. Young readers will discover a chapter of World War II history rarely told,” Author Hui expresses.
Flying Fillies profiles positive role models in women who are confident, courageous, and strong.
