FLY GIRLS
Filmmaker Laurel Ladevich’s smart, splendidly paced, doc profiles the real-life Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASPs) who flew planes and bombers to Allied bases in WWII. These women were, and remain, smart, skilled, strong, sexy and brave - barrier-breaking role models.
VARIETY
The stellar one-hour documentary Fly Girls zooms in on the heroic women who aided this country’s Air Force during World War II… It’s lyrical and poetic and often disarmingly surreal.
St. Louis Dispatch
Their story is wonderfully told in Fly Girls, a touching and terrific story on The American Experience.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram
A superior work… moving history, courtesy of PBS Television’s stellar American Experience series.
Seattle Times
If Fly Girls were a Hollywood movie, it would be a combination of A League of Their Own and The Right Stuff.
