Valiant women : the extraordinary American servicewomen who helped win World War II / Lena Andrews.

Andrews, Lena S., (author.).

Summary:

This "is the story of the 350,000 American women who served in uniform during World War II. These incredible women served in every combat theater, and in nearly two-thirds of the available military occupations at the time. They were pilots, codebreakers, ordnance experts, gunnery instructors, metalsmiths, chemists, translators, pararachute riggers, truck drivers, radarmen, pigeon trainers, and much more ... Yet, until now, their stories have been relegated to the dusty shelves of military archives or a passing mention in the local paper. Often the women themselves kept their stories private, even from their own families. Now, military analyst Lena Andrews corrects the record with [an] ... historical account of American servicewomen during World War II, based on new archival research, firsthand interviews with surviving veterans, and a deep professional understanding of military history and strategy"-- Provided by publisher.
