Description

When Singapore falls to Japan's Imperial army in early 1942, the life that Susan Sandyman has lovingly created abroad is shattered. Forced to flee home to the hamlets of southern England, she can either succumb to grief or find solace in war work.

When a chance encounter with the elusive Air Transport Auxiliary pilots stirs a spark of excitement, Susan's decision is made.

Based on the authors' own experiences with the ATA, Paid to Be Safe vividly captures the gruelling training and day-to-day life of female ferry pilots. To these women, the allure of the Spitfire is more than just the freedom to fly, but an invitation to start anew.

Detailing their camaraderie, bravery, and romantic encounters, this classic novel explores the depths of personal loss during conflict and the healing powers of love, family, and friendship.
