Résumé

From the bestselling authors of The Sugar Girls and GI Brides, this is Margery's story, one of three true accounts from the book The Girls Who Went to War. "'Who does that man think he is?' Margery muttered to a girl standing next to her. The words had slipped out before she could stop herself, but she realised, to her horror, that the warrant officer had heard them. 'What was that?' he demanded, striding over and fixing her with an angry stare.
Margery gulped - but there was no going back now." In the summer of 1940, Britain stood alone against Germany. The British Army stood at just over one and a half million men, while the Germans had three times that many, and a population almost twice the size of ours from which to draw new waves of soldiers. Clearly, in the fight against Hitler, manpower alone wasn't going to be enough. Margery Pott signed up for the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, leaving her quiet home for the rigours of training, the camaraderie of the young women who worked together so closely and to face a war that would change her life forever. Overall, more than half a million women served in the armed forces during the Second World War.
This book tells the story of just one of them. But in her story is reflected the lives of hundreds of thousands of others like them - ordinary girls who went to war, wearing their uniforms with pride.
