Author Talk: Becky Aikman

With cinematic sweep, Becky Aikman follows the stories of nine of the the daring American women who piloted the most dangerous aircraft of World War II through the treacherous skies of Britain, drawing on unpublished diaries, letters, and records, along with her own interviews, to bring these forgotten heroines fully to life. Spitfires is a vivid, richly detailed account of war, ambition, and a group of remarkable women whose lives were as unconventional as their dreams.

She will be in discussion with Peter Biello, the host of All Things Considered and Georgia Today on GPB.

The Livingston Lectures are made possible with generous funding from the Livingston Foundation of Atlanta.
