Through the darkest days of the Second World War; an elite group of courageous; gifted women risked their lives as courier pilots; flying Lancaster Bombers; Spitfires and many other aircraft in hundreds of perilous missions across the country. In The Female Few; five of these astonishingly brave women tell their stories for the first time; awe inspiring tales of incredible risk; tenacity and sacrifice. Their spirit and fearlessness in the face of death still resonates down the years; and their accounts reveal a forgotten chapter in the history of the Second World War. As Yvonne Macdonald; now 90 and living in Cape Cod; says; "It was a kind of freedom you never get any other way; it was as if you had wings sewn on your back. A lot of people here in Cape Cod don’t even know I was in World War Two. Or what I did." They do now.
