Why read it?

1 author picked The Originals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m a sucker for “little known facts” or books that debunk myths. This book about the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron, a US women’s pilot organization that predated the WASP, is such a book.

It takes on the Jackie Conchrane legend using first-hand accounts by the women who were part of the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron and conventional research. It is full of delightful anecdotes that vividly bring the challenges faced by these women to life. I found it both educational and entertaining. 

From Helena's list on women in aviation in WWII.
