FLYING HIGHER by Wanda Langley is the story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II.

The year was 1943 and a global war was raging. In the U.S., all male military pilots were needed for combat duty, which left critical piloting jobs vacant across the land. Who would deliver the newly manufactured planes to their domestic bases? Who would help train cadet pilots and tow targets for gunnery practice, test new planes and retest old ones? The answer was: the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP).

Wanda Langley has conducted extensive interviews with former WASPs and has the insider's details of their adventures, as well as their training and service. She was born not far from Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas where the WASPs trained. She grew up hearing stories about these audacious women pilots and knew she would write about them one day.
