Women of the ATA: The Forgotten Pilots of WWII

  • Assembly Rooms (The Council House) 80 North Street Chichester, PO19 1LQ UK (map)

About the Talk

During World War II, 168 women served with the Air Transport Auxiliary — flying military aircraft across Britain under the same conditions as their male counterparts. Yet their remarkable contribution remains largely unknown. In this talk, author Kevin O'Regan explores the ATA's story, with a particular focus on the women who played such a vital role. Drawing on extensive research for his Lizzie's War novel series, Kevin brings these women's stories to life.
