The Fly Girls Revolt: The Story of the Women Who Kicked Open the Door to Fly in Combat

A discussion on the stories of trailblazing women who fought for the right to fly in the military with author Col. Eileen A. Bjorkman, moderated by Retired Navy pilot Jan Donatelli.

Retired Colonel Eileen A. Bjorkman’s new book, The FlyGirls Revolt: The Story of the Women Who Kicked Open the Door to Fly in Combat, celebrates the historic milestones in women’s aviation by telling the stories of the trailblazing women who fought for the right to fly––including the author, a civilian pilot with a long military career herself. As a flight test engineer who was one of a handful of women to fly fighter airplanes in the 1980s, Bjorkman had a front-row seat to the history in the book.
