1944. Ruth Aspinall loves flying and soon becomes an accomplished pilot. When war breaks out and the Air Transport Auxiliary is formed she is anxious to join them.

In America, brother and sister, Jack and Lucy Nelson, experienced pilots, make their way to England, also determined to become part of the ATA.

Beryl Matthews is a British actress who was born in London and now lives in Hampshire. She was raised in a household of voracious readers, and books have always played an significant role in her life.
