Interesting book based on true events. Ingrid is 14 in Nazi Germany hidden by her father as she has a stutter and all children who are not "perfect" are being taken away. Ingrid helps out at the local airfield flying gliders and catches the eye of a famous lady pilot Hannah Reitsch who takes her on tour to help demonstrate " Germany's dominance of the skies" to the people. But the more Ingrid sees, the less convinced she is that she is on the right side and she hatches a daring plan to escape...
Apparently Hannah Reitsch was an actual pilot who was confronted by the atrocities of the Nazi regime and was slow to see what was happening. ( )

The most recent “Warbird” novella, intended for reluctant or dyslexia readers, is about a seventeen year old living in Germany in 1944. Ingrid keeps quiet because if an important Nazi hears her stutter, they might decide she’s disabled and send her away. She’s spent most of her time at her local gliding school, helping out and learning to fly, and eagerly accepts a job doing propaganda demonstration flights with test pilot Hanna Reitsch. But she has to decide what to do with the information she discovers.

It’s a fascinating story. As always with these novellas, I wanted more details, but the story is complete without them. ( )
