In s America, Jacqueline Cochran is the rarest kind of woman: The notion mig In s America, Jacqueline Cochran is the rarest kind of woman: The notion might seem absurd, but she aims to command a group of women pilots within the Army Air Corps. Vassar-educated socialite Nancy Love also wants women flying military planes, but she has a different idea of how they should be used.

Goodbye Glamour Gals is a novel of extraordinary women in an extraordinary time. A cold rivalry develops as Cochran and Love struggle to convince the Army that women are a national resource. Each gains allies and, remarkably, two fragile programs emerge. But in a world hostile to progressive women, it is clear only one organization can succeed. With the aid of a powerful general, Cochran merges the programs under her command, relegating Love to a vague, subordinate role.
