Literary Aviatrix: The Power of Story - Women in Aviation

Send us a Text Message.

In this portion of my interview with Kate Quinn she introduces her historical novel The Huntress and talks about the trail that led her to create the fierce and fearless character, Nina Markova, who she based on the Russian women combat pilots in WWII, the Nacht Hexen, or Night Witches.

This is a very well-crafted and entertaining book, and the audio book is in my top ten favorites. A great pick for a long car trip.
