ON WINGS TO WAR by Jan Churchill

This is the story of one of the first women to fly for the American military. Teresa James was one of the original WAFS (Womens Auxiliary Ferry Squadron) that was assembled by Nancy Love in September 1942 at New Castle Army Air Base in Delaware. Teresa began her flight career as a flight instructor and air show pilot in the 1930s. During the war, she married one of her students who was a B-17 pilot. He was killed in a B-17 crash in France. Her husband's death was not confirmed by the War Department. Forty years passed until Teresa returned to France and found out what really happened to her husband.

On Wings To War tells the story of the WAFS who became WASPs in August 1943, and about their flying until they were disbanded on 20 December 1944. It is an emotional story as it describes how women left their homes to fly for their country with no military recognition accorded to them. The book is profusely illustrated.

Autographed copies are available from the author. Other books written by Jan Churchill are Classified Secret and Hit My Smoke.
