O ovoj e-knjizi
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 grueling 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.

O autoru
Margaret Morrison (1897–1973) was a prolific writer of fiction, with over 30 published novels. Paid To Be Safe (1948) draws on her own wartime service as a medical officer with the ATA. Pamela Tulk-Hart (1918–2010) signed up for the ATA in 1943 as a trainee pilot. Adept at flying a wide variety of aircraft, including the Spitfire, she served as a ferry pilot until the end of the war. Her ATA experiences directly inspired much of the relevant content of Paid To Be Safe, which can in some respects be read as her wartime memoir.
