Flygirl

All Ida Mae Jones wants to do is fly. Her daddy was a pilot, and years after his death she feels closest to him when she��┬ in the air. But as a young black woman in 1940s Louisiana, she knows the sky is off limits to her, until America enters World War II, and the Army forms the WASP�'Women Airforce Service Pilots. Ida has a chance to fulfill her dream if she��┬ willing to use her light skin to pass as a white girl. She wants to fly more than anything, but Ida soon learns that denying one��┬ self and family is a heavy burden, and ultimately it��┬ not what you do but who you are that��┬ most important.
