This "felt" like non-fiction because of the subject matter, but was most likely a fictionalized version of the experiences of the women who participated in World War 2 as pilots who served in order to free up the men who went to fight. Their roles were just as dangerous, and they broke new ground for women of their day, creating a path for the modern woman to follow. I've read other books on the same subject, but this one brought it to life for me.
