Flygirl

Ida Mae Jones heart is in the sky. Ever since her dad taught her how to fly the crop duster for their berry farm in Louisiana, she has dreamed of being a pilot. However, being a black, female pilot in the 1940's is not a piece of cake. Especially once WWII goes into full tilt, Ida Mae's dream to fly is put on hold. An opportunity arises - the Woman's Airforce Service Program. Where women fly cargo cross-country. By forging a pilot's license, gathering the money for training, and passing for white (she has very pale skin) she may just pull it off - and live her dream of flying.

This was a good read. Easy, interesting, and a side of WWII you don't tend to see. Good characters, fine writing, good plot. It was nothing super special, but not bad at all. The main problem was the ending - it never really lead anywhere and didn't really have a climax to speak of. Maybe the author was trying to be realistic..? Who knows. It was a fine read; don't feel like your missing out if you don't read it, but it is definitely a good enough book.
