By the author of Lily's War. On  the ground, the crowd of men stood with their mouths agape, watching  the wings soar into the air, the tail kept impressively steady and the  small plane with a woman at the controls disappearing into the May  sunshine.\r\n\r\n   It's 1942 and Bobby Hollis has joined the Air Transport Auxiliary in a team known as the 'glamour girls' - amazing women who pilot aircraft all around the country.   Bobby always wanted to escape life on the family farm and the ATA seemed like the perfect opportunity for her. But there's always something standing in her way.\r\n\r\n Like a demanding father, who wants to marry her off to a rich man. And the family secrets that threaten to engulf everything.   As Bobby navigates her way through life, and love, she has to learn that controlling a huge, four-engined bomber might just be easier than controlling her own life .\r\n\r\n . .   'What a brilliant read! Shirley Mann has given such a well-researched and comprehensive picture of the lives of the courageous women of the ATA, and Bobby is a wonderful heroine.\r\n\r\n Brave, clever and opinionated, I absolutely loved spending time with her.' Ginny Bell, author of The Dover Cafe at War  'Shirley Mann has given us in Bobby Hollis an inspiration. Plucky and resourceful as she delivers her WW2 aircraft, Bobby is exactly the sort of person you'd want at your side in real life today. This is a perfect read when all you want to do is curl up to enjoy a lovely novel.\r\n\r\n Brava!'
