Product Description

Product Description

The name of Lettice Curtis is well known in the aviation world. Her career as an aviator is unique, yet until now it has never been put into print. Inspired by requests from many who have known her, Lettice has finally put pen to paper and opened her photo album to tell her amazing story from school days to retirement. After qualifying as a pilot in the 1930s, Lettice became one of the legendary women pilots of the Air Transport Auxiliary whose job it was to ferry combat aircraft to and from operational units. In the war years she flew most of the RAF's aircraft, from Tiger Moths, to Spitfires and Lancasters. After the war she continued flying as a civilian with Fairey Aviation and entered the air-racing circuit flying a Spitfire in competition. Long after many others would have retired, Lettice converted to helicopters and the Robinson R-22. With so many tales to tell, both tragic and comic, from her long and distinguished career, this book gallops through her remarkable life in her own inimitable style.

Format:Hardcover
For anyone researching WWII flying this would be a must read. It gives such a detailed account of the Air Transport Auxiliary and had you in the crew room along with the other Pilots. I will read this book several times and it is one that I will keep.
