A soaring tale in which, at long last, these daring World War II pilots gain the credit they deserve.”—Liza Mundy, New York Times bestselling author of Code Girls “A powerful story of reinvention, community and ingenuity born out of global upheaval.”— Newsday When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Cornelia Fort was already in the air. At twenty-two, Fort had escaped Nashville’s debutante scene for a fresh start as a flight instructor in Hawaii. She and her student were in the middle of their lesson when the bombs began to fall, and they barely made it back to ground that morning. Still, when the U.S. Army Air Forces put out a call for women pilots to aid the war effort, Fort was one of the first to respond. She became one of just over 1,100 women from across the nation to make it through the Army’s rigorous selection process and earn her silver wings. The brainchild of trailblazing pilots Nancy Love and Jacqueline Cochran, the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) gave women like Fort a chance to serve their country—and to prove that women aviators were just as skilled as men. While not authorized to serve in combat, the WASP helped train male pilots for service abroad, and ferried bombers and pursuits across the country. Thirty-eight WASP would not survive the war. But even taking into account these tragic losses, Love and Cochran’s social experiment seemed to be a resounding success—until, with the tides of war turning, Congress clipped the women’s wings. The program was disbanded, the women sent home. But the bonds they’d forged never failed, and over the next few decades they came together to fight for recognition as the military veterans they were—and for their place in history. Review: Amazing aviators fighting multiple battles! - A wonderful and inspiring read about a dedicated and talented group of women who served their country in one of its most critical hours. You will laugh, cry, and cheer on their journeys from many decades ago and yet their heroics and sacrifice will stand the test of time. Review: Unknown flying women - Great book about the forgotten women who flew planes in wartime. They were from all parts of the country, were very brave and were often treated with little respect by their male counterparts. They were finally recognized many years after the war ended. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #681,001 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #71 in Women in History #330 in World War II History (Books) #4,084 in Sociology Reference | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 843 Reviews | ## Images ![The Women with Silver Wings: The Inspiring True Story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots of World War II - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71QWr6+4u4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing aviators fighting multiple battles! *by J***R on May 7, 2026* A wonderful and inspiring read about a dedicated and talented group of women who served their country in one of its most critical hours.

They were from all parts of the country, were very brave and were often treated with little respect by their male counterparts. They were finally recognized many years after the war ended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot believe we don't talk about the WASP! *by K***E on January 23, 2021* Read this book with some ladies for our feminist book club. I love history and this book was stuff full of crazy and unbelievably unique stories. I was shocked that I had never heard of any of this before. It is an inspiring and frustrating record of women who wanted to use their passion for flight to serve their nation in desperate times. They are involved with WWII so be prepared for the attitudes of the time to be grating and riddled with chauvinism. It was a truly fascinating read and well worth the time, i am still blown away that I had never before heard of the WASP! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/179285456-the-women-with-silver-wings-the-inspiring-true-story-women](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/179285456-the-women-with-silver-wings-the-inspiring-true-story-women) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
