Perspective from the past
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Ms Settle's book is a reminder that not only American servicemen fought in the war. From a life of American privilege, she chose to become an enlisted British servicewoman, performing the little noticed but vital job of communicating with British aircrews. Her highly personal story may seem dated, but is a fascinating first-person account of a country totally involved in the war
Beautifully written memoir
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Mary Lee Settle is an American writer who tells us of her experiences as a woman member of the RAF during WWII. Because of her wonderful literary ability, these stories are vivid and thought-provoking. They deal with the cultural differences, class differences, and wartime conditions she experienced. A memorable read - you'll never forget her confrontation with some of her fellow women RAF members or how she learned to understand them. Highly recommended.
