Publisher's Synopsis
Kay Duffield only has a precious few days with her new husband before she joins the WAAF as a balloon operator, being trained for the heavy work in order to release more men to fight. There she meets shy Emily Bevan, who has left home for the first time; down-to-earth Biddy Bachelor, fresh from the horrors of the bombing raids on Liverpool, and spirited Jo Stewart, whose rebellious disregard for authority looks set to land them all in trouble. The girls stay friends through good times and bad, romantic encounters and broken hearts, during one of the most dramatic times in recent history.
