Molly's Flight

Women and War, Book 3

Molly wants to fight Hitler by using her skills as a pilot. But the USA says no to female pilots.

America is at war and Molly, a qualified pilot, is determined to use her skills in the air against the Nazis. The American Air Force isn't ready to admit female pilots just yet but the British are desperate for pilots following their devastating losses in the Battle of Britain.

Travelling to England means crossing the Atlantic - a journey filled with peril as the German U-boats patrol these waters. Determined to fly, Molly and her friends cross the sea to fulfill their dream only to find the cost of the trip is much higher than Molly ever imagined.

A Young woman’s journey through brave and flawed choices

Molly is a character who embodies contradictions. Her naïveté is understandable given her privileged background, yet her impulsiveness often blinds her to the consequences of her actions. As the story unfolds, her decisions result in tragedy, causing harm to those around her. While this makes her difficult to sympathize with, it also adds to the depth of the story and urges the reader to immerse themselves into the often blurred lines of war.
