The Flight Girls by Noelle Salazar

5.0

This book grabbed my attention purely by the title and front cover. This is the first book written by Noelle and it was brilliant. She divides the book into three sections, leading her main character Audrey through WWII. The book starts off in Pearl Harbor, in which Audrey is a civilian contractor training pilots. She meets a man named James who is a second main character in the book. The second and third sections take place in Texas as Audrey is in the Women Airforce Service Pilots and Ferry Command. Throughout the book Noelle does a fantastic job of putting the reader in Audrey’s shoes and bringing them into the story. I shed tears twice while reading this book. This book will stay with me for a long time. The book sheds light on women in the army and their contributions to the war effort here at home as well as how badass women can be. Loved this book and I will be recommending this one for a long time. Noelle is a fantastic storyteller and I’m anxiously looking forward to reading more from her.
