SPITFIRE GIRLS
By Katherine Senior
​
INSPIRED BY REMARKABLE TRUE EVENTS
​
“It’s built for us, isn’t it? The Spitfire. Built for women.”
​
New Year’s Eve, 1959.
​
Decades after answering the call, two women separated by the war meet again as the rain hammers down on the windows of The Spitfire pub.
​
As we hear their story, we’re transported back to a time when female pioneers defied expectations and soared through the skies.
​
Spitfire Girls is inspired by the extraordinary true stories of the women who dared to fly during WWII and the incredible bond that tied them together.
​
Funny and heart-warming, this is an untold story of strength, courage and loss. But above all else, hope.
​​
The producers of Spitfire Girls are delighted to be working with The Royal British Legion.
Recommended ages 10+.
