Pages : 334
Book Description
This heart-warming historical fiction debut about a female pilot is “like reading a personal diary of the brave women who were unsung heroes of WWII” (Rhys Bowen, New York Times–bestselling author of the Royal Spyness mysteries). During World War II, farmer’s daughter Rosalie Wright becomes a pilot assisting the RAF. But will a romantic rivalry send her aerial dreams plummeting to earth? Ever since she was 10 years old, Rosalie Wright’s eyes have been on the skies. But at the age of 18, on the verge of earning her pilot's license, the English farmer’s daughter watches her dreams of becoming an aviatrix fly away without her. Britain's entry into World War II brings civilian aviation to a standstill. Then, Rosalie's father dies, leaving her, her mother, and her brothers to run the farm. Everything changes when she learns that the Air Transport Authority is recruiting women pilots to ferry warplanes across Britain to RAF bases. Despite her mother’s objections, Rosalie cannot resist the call of her country—and the lure of the skies. During her training on Gipsy Moth aircraft, Rosalie forms a fast friendship with fellow flyer Caroline Andrews. Her trusty Ferry Pilots Notebook by her side, Rosalie delivers to five airfields in a day—while fighting an endless battle against skeptical male pilots and ground crews. She would much rather spend her time on the wing than on the arm of any man...until she meets gruff pilot Snug Durrant and RAF squadron leader Alan Chersey. Snug is a cynical, wisecracking playboy, and Alan is every WAAF’s heartthrob...and Rosalie catches both their eyes. As the war drags on, and casualties mount, will love and tragedy send Rosalie’s exhilarating airborne life crashing to the ground?

Book Description
Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text of The Glamour Girls by James Robert Parish and Don E. Stanke. Dwelling in their own special solar system-far beyond mere film stardom or talent, are the Hollywood beauties known as Glamour Girls. Some were little more than animated mannequins daydreaming through movies, human May flies who soared, dazzled, and died all on the same day. Others were far more fortunate. Blessed with ability and determination, they broke free of their golden fetters and showed moviegoers that they were far more than store-window dummies. The most artificial creations of an artificial-loving business, Hollywood's Glamour Girls were cinema's Blessed Goddesses. In The Glamour Girls, nine of them are recalled-their films, their off-screen lives, and their special and highly varied brands of witchcraft. JOAN BENNETT-She only wanted to be a normal, upper-class flapper . . . YVONNE DE CARLO-From sumptuous Technicolor celluloid adventures to Broadway's Follies . . . RITA HAYWORTH-Tigress or Pussycat? . . . AUDREY HEPBURN-The elegant gamine . . . JENNIFER JONES-What lay behind her intense innocence? . . . MARIA MONTEZ-The temperamental beauty who believed too strongly in her publicity hype . . . KIM NOVAK-"Her face is like a sponge that can soak you up"-Life magazine .. . MERLE OBERON-the aristocrat with a hidden past who insisted "I just want to look my best" . . . VERA HRUBA RALSTON-Was her amazing self-confidence justified? The Glamour Girls provides a probing examination of these Silver Screen Beauties-and the men who created these luscious movie icons: David O. Selznick spends a fortune selling Jennifer Jones as a great dramatic actress . . Herbert Yates "gives" Republic Pictures to Vera Hruba Ralston . . . Alexander Korda reconstructs Merle Oberon as an exotic beauty . . . Harry Cohn punishes willful Rita Hayworth by practically inventing luscious Kim Novak . . . and Walter Wanger shoots a film colony rival over Joan Bennett. This meticulous study of cinema glamour is filled with detailed filmographies of its subjects, precise recreations of scores of motion pictures, and telling reviews by contemporary critics who were at the same time caustic and captivated by these legendary love goddesses.
