“It’s built for us, isn’t it? The Spitfire. Built for women.”
New Year’s Eve, 1959.
As the rain falls outside The Spitfire pub, two women meet again — decades after the war that changed their lives forever.
As their memories unfold, we’re transported back to a time when female pioneers defied expectations and took to the skies, helping to keep Britain flying during WWII.
Spitfire Girls tells the extraordinary true story of the women who dared to fly — and the powerful bond that united them. Funny, moving and full of heart, this is an untold story of courage, resilience and hope that still resonates today.
