Women Who Dared
by Lt. Col. Yvonne C. Pateman, USAF (Ret.)
From the hardy group of pioneer women flyers who followed the Wright brothers' first flight in 1911 to the brave astronauts and space-age explorers today, Women Who Dared traces the lofty path of these brave women who battled stereotyping, hostility, and prejudice to become an integral part of their country's aviation history.
Their inspiring struggle, related by Lieutenant Colonel Yvonne C. Pateman, herself an aviation pioneer, is finally brought to light in this important and never-before-told story.

Girls of Avenger
by Alyce Stevens Rohrer
For thirty-five years they were one of the best kept secrets of World War II. Now, read about the WASP -Women Airforce Service Pilots. The time is l942 to l945, and the setting is Avenger Field, Texas where these women were trained to fly military aircraft. The story revolves around the experiences of one class, 44-W-4. Events and experiences reported all actually happened, (but the names of the women are fictional), and they are told by an author who was a WASP.
"My new book about the WASP is a ficitionalized story of all the training we went through from the time we were recruited to the time we graduated. The names of the girls are all fictionlized, but the names of national leaders and establishment officers are not. It therefore can be called a historical novel." - Alyce Stevens Rohrer
