Her career almost ends when an army major removes her from training for refusing his proposition to do something other than fly.

She never gives up hope of earning her silver wings, even as she makes a perilous flight of her own with a Nazi holding a gun to the back of her head.

Book Review :
Reviewed by Ann K. D. Myers Historical Novel Society
The Woman in the Wing has plenty of action and excitement, and readers will enjoy trying to identify the German spy along with Char and her fellow agents. This book would appeal to those interested in World War II or women’s history and anyone who loves a good mystery.
Reviewed on Booksie's Blog
This book is recommended, both for mystery fans and for those interested in World War II history. While I'd heard of the stereotype of Rosie the Riveter and the work these women performed, I had never heard of the WASP, and the women who served their country in this fashion. I found the history as interesting as the plotline and welcomed the chance to learn more about a time that helped lay the groundwork for the women's liberation movement in the next generation.

Jean Sheldon’s, ‘The Women in the Wing’, aptly depicts the role of women pilots and factory machinists during WWII, who worked backstage and without social recognition. Insightfully, Sheldon utilizes the ambitious and dedicated characters of her book to set a metamorphic stage for the role of women today.
Reviewed by: DOUGLAS R. COBB on Bestsellersworld.com
The Woman In The Wing evokes a sense of the struggles and hardships women had to endure to begin playing a more active part in WWII. Though a fictional account of the WASP, Jean Sheldon's research was thorough. It's also a very suspenseful mystery, with enough Nazis, murders, and sabotage to hold the interest of the most jaded mystery fans. The Woman In The Wing is a book you'll want to add to your reading list today!
