Summary:
This "is the story of the 350,000
American
women
who
served in uniform during
World
War
II
. These incredible
women
served in every combat theater, and in nearly two-thirds of the available military occupations at the time. They were pilots, codebreakers, ordnance experts, gunnery instructors, metalsmiths, chemists, translators, pararachute riggers, truck drivers, radarmen, pigeon trainers, and much more ... Yet, until now, their stories have been relegated to the dusty shelves of military archives or a passing mention in the local paper. Often the
women
themselves kept their stories private, even from their own families. Now, military analyst Lena Andrews corrects the record with [an] ... historical account of
American
servicewomen
during
World
War
II
, based on new archival research, firsthand interviews with surviving veterans, and a deep professional understanding of military history and strategy"--From publisher.
