Synopsis: In spite of the disapproval of family, friend, and lovers, four women arrive in Sweetwater, Texas, determined to earn the silver wings of an Army pilot and the Santiago blue uniform of the WASPs. — During World War II there were few women pilots. None of them went overseas to fly in the war effort. Yet there were those female pilots who wanted to join the service and fly for their country. These women had a rough time getting themselves taken seriously. The military didn't support them, but they persevered.

This novel takes the true events and fictionalizes them. Four very different women come together for training in Texas determined to prove themselves and fly for their country. Perhaps not all of them came with altruistic intentions, yet the drive is there for each one.
