Lady Flyer

By: Heather B. Moore

Narrated by: Nancy Peterson

Based on a true story and set against the backdrop of WWII, a young woman’s love of flying becomes an epic fight for identity and equality.

In the quiet town of Houghton, Michigan, sixteen-year-old Nancy Harkness discovers a passion that ignites her heart in ways she never expected. The arrival of barnstormer pilots brings more than just the thrill of their daring stunts; it brings the promise of adventure. Nancy vows she will be a pilot someday.

Years later, as the dark clouds of World War II gather on the horizon, Nancy’s dreams take a new and daring turn. With unwavering determination, she envisions a squadron of female pilots. Yet, her path is far from clear. The male-dominated world of aviation pushes back, determined to keep women out of the skies.

But Nancy isn’t alone in her quest for equality. Jackie Cochran, a formidable aviatrix and Nancy’s rival, has her own dreams and ambitions for women in aviation. As they both navigate the turbulent skies of a nation at war, their destinies intertwine in a story of rivalry, respect, and competition.

Great Story—Great Women!

This was a wonderful, historic story about brave women doing what they love to help win WW2 for people world wide who desire freedom.

Diamonds in the rough.

As a pilot, woman, and children’s book author I appreciated the balance of characters’ delicate tone coupled with the bold message of pioneering pilots.

Much homage to WASP; after reading I pondered their role in my career and took comfort when I read that some WASP settled in my area after their service.

A perfect addition to anyone’s bookshelf who enjoys history, aviation, and who appreciates the craft of storytelling.

Loved learning about strong women!

I had never heard of this remarkable woman. Moore did a fantastic job of bringing this chapter of US history to life.

Incredible

I love learning women history. And this does not disappoint. I cannot imagine the feeling of disappointment when the whole thing was dismantled. But what a fantastic look at some incredibly daring young women and their quest to make a difference in aviation and the war.

Excellent historical book!

I couldn’t stop listening as I was drawn in by the drama of it sll
