A stunning picture book from the award winning team of Gly Harper and Jenny Cooper, bringing us the incredible true story of Gladys Sanford – mechanic, First World War ambulance driver, New Zeland’s first woman pilot and trailblazer ahead of her time.
Gladys loves nothing better than tinkering with car engines and driving at top speed. She also dreams of learning to fly a plane. But it’s 1914 and people, especially her mother keep reminding her that women are not supposed to be adventurous. When war comes, Gladys offers her services at the front as an ambulance driver. She receives an infuriating response from the War Office, but she is determined to go to war.
