When I was a teenager I wrote a paper on the WACs of WWII.  Women pioneers like Jackie Cochrane and Sally Ride ( who had recently gone into space and into history) were heroes for me.  I haven't thought much about those famous women save to mourn Ride's death.  "Wings" does a fantastic job of taking a reader into the often forgotten history of women's areal contributions during WWII.  We get a great story about Liddy Hall, a young woman pilot who goes through WASP training to earn her wings.  Cartier did an amazing job of making sure her readers fully invest in the characters she created.  Nothing strange or unrealistic appears in this novel, thus the believability of the story is maintained throughout the read.  If you want to learn a little something and enjoy a great period piece, I definitely recommend you purchase this novel.
