Mrs Witherspoon Goes to War by Mary Davis

Full of intrigue, adventure, and romance, this new series celebrates the unsung heroes; the heroines of WWII. Peggy Witherspoon, a widow, mother, and pilot flying for the Women’s Airforce Service in 1944 clashes with her new reporting officer. Army Air Corp Major Howie Berg was injured in combat and is now stationed at Bolling Field in Washington D.C. Most of Peggy’s jobs are safe, predictable, and she can be home each night with her three daughters; until a cargo run to Cuba alerts her to American soldiers being held captive there, despite Cuba being an ally.

My review: This was an enlightening story of what the WASPS had to endure during WWII.  Peggy is a widow who has been flying and repairing airplanes since was a teen.  She is task with flying planes that aren't fit to fly and repair them.  She is braver than a lot of the men she works with.  By the middle of the story she discovers some men are being held in Cuba.  Peggy and two of her co WASPS set out to rescue them.  A great story of courage against great odds.

I was given this book by Barbour Publishing via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.  I was not compensated in any way.
