They are always full of information about the time period and ususally written by a well known kidlit author, like Valerie Tripp. I am sure your kids will like them.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-63159492308662875352014-03-25T22:55:52.329-04:002014-03-25T22:55:52.329-04:00I haven't read any of the American Girl Doll b...I haven't read any of the American Girl Doll books, but I think they are a wonderful way to get girls (and boys) interested in HF.

I also read about how the planes they were flying were used for target practice, among other dangerous jobs, and then they got the boot and not military benefits til much later. It was shameful.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15988251415347075888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-76736399926353566332014-03-25T08:17:55.777-04:002014-03-25T08:17:55.777-04:00Isn't it great?Isn't it great?

I've read several books about WASP the last few years - very interesting (and some aspects... very disturbing such as how they were used for target practice).<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ManOfLaBook.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ManOfLaBook.com</a>Man of la Bookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561603511163982556noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3966330143385469554.post-8834340485716318962014-03-25T06:44:20.654-04:002014-03-25T06:44:20.654-04:00Love that cover!Love that cover!Joyce Moyer Hostetterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153114928220349251noreply@blogger.com
