This novel is meant to be an alternate story of the road that led a young German girl, Ingrid Dows, born Weiss, to become the greatest American fighter ace of World War 2 and to then continue on to eventually become a top American military leader. This novel is also meant to pay homage to the brave American women who voluntarily enrolled in the Women Auxiliary Service Pilots (or WASP) during World War 2, from 1942 to the disbandment of the WASP program in 1944. Most of the names of female aviators mentioned in this novel as part of the fictitious Fifinellas are the names and basic descriptions of women who were actually part of the WASP program, whom some of them died in air accidents while flying on duty. May their names be remembered with admiration and fondness.
