History of Women Who Flew For Their Country

<p>In this interview, I talk with NYT #1 Best-Seller, Elizabeth Wein, about her flying adventures, her books, and the history of the women who flew for their countries during WWII on the European Front, including the British Air Transport Auxiliary, the Russian Night Witches, and the Luftwaffe test pilots. You can find her many books on her website, www.elizabethwein.com and hundreds of books featuring women in aviation history on the Aviatrix Book Review website www.aviatrixbookreview.com.<br/><br/>In addition to the many books written about the Russian Night Witches, for a lively and engaging audio presentation of this history, I highly recommend The Night Witches podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-night-witches/id1543620973<br/><br/>Episode 8 of the Women of War Podcast, is also excellent https://www.womenofwarpod.com/episodes/episode/c0b14bee/episode-8-soviet-night-witches<br/><br/>#ewien2412 @ewein2412 #nightwitches #airtransportauxiliary #internationalwomensday_global #internationalwomensdayofficial #luftwaffeoriginal #luftewaffe #womenofaviationweek #womenshistorymonth #spitfiregirls #womenofWWII #barnstormer #yaauthor #codenameverity #royalairforceuk #royalairforceclub #royalairforce #vcfawcya #choosetochallenge #iwd2021 @amberlough @womenofwarpod @thenightwitchespodcast #womenatwar #womenofwar<br/><br/>In this Writer’s Room discussion, Elizabeth Wein shares how her ideas come together within historical context, her agent relationship and the value it has offered her as a writer, writing Code Name Verity and how it became a #1 NYT Best Seller eight years after publication, and offers advice to aspiring and working writers. <br/><br/>Liz Booker is a retired Coast Guard helicopter pilot and writer for young adults.
