‘Anything to Anywhere!’
That’s the motto from the Surroundings Transportation Auxiliary, the courageous team of feminine pilots who travel fighter planes between bases in the elevation of WWII.
Mary is a driver for the ATA and although she yearns to take flight a Spitfire, she fears her humble background will keep her back. In the end, glamorous Angela is set to be another ‘Atta Woman’ on recruitment posters. Bobbie learned to take a flight in her father’s private airplane and Jean was trained the queen’s British about The Spitfire Women at grammar school before joining the squad. Dedicated and resilient the three ladies guideline the skies: weathering storms and dodging enemy fire. Mary can only dream of signing up for them – until she gets the force she must overcome her self-doubt.
Thrown together, girls form a good bond because they encounter the perils of their work. But they soon find that affairs from the heart can be just as harmful as attacks through the skies.
With all the fear and uncertainty ahead – can their friendship see them through the tests of war?
A heart-warming, romantic tale of a friendly relationship, camaraderie and triumph over adversity that supporters of Donna Douglas, Nancy Revell and Contact the Midwife will love.
