Velva Jean

review 1: I learned a lot about the female WASP pilots. I am shocked by some of the things that were done to them by their own colleagues. I hope these stories weren't true. Besides learning to fly, Velva Jane learned to soar. She learned to become her own woman and that to do so, she had to do it on her own, away from her beginnings and her home. What a great coming of age story. I can't wait to read the next one.
review 2: I enjoyed the second Velva Jean story about as much as the first, especially the parts about being a pilot (a WASP, to be exact). It didn't make me want to learn to fly, but I liked reading about the camaraderie between the female pilots. I have to keep reminding myself that Velva Jean is barely 20 years old, so that's why the character has some fu... morenny ideas and says some funny stuff. She may have married at 16, but she's still just a kid. less
