Synopsis

Cornelia Fort’s story is the sixth such illuminating account Sarah Byrn Rickman has written spotlighting the young women who became the “Original 28” -- adventuresome young women pilots who flew for the Women’s Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron in World War II. The WAFS (later renamed Women Airforce Service Pilots or WASP) were civilian pilots who volunteered to ferry military aircraft, freeing male pilots to fight overseas.

The story of Cornelia Clark Fort soars. Cornelia herself soared every time she stepped into the cockpit of the aircraft she was flying that day, from takeoff to landing – including her last flight. While doing her sworn duty to the best of her ability, she gave her life for her country when it was at war fighting for democracy and the right to live free. Principles she fervently believed in.

Know that in reading her story you will experience the best of what humanity has to offer. Flying along with this fine young pilot, who died too soon, you will learn what it feels like to dance with birds, chase clouds, and fly the wild blue yonder.
