The Girls in Blue is a three-book WWII series by Fenella J. Miller, published in 2021 and 2022. The title refers to the blue uniform worn by members of the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force, and the series follows women who joined the WAAF during the Second World War, working to support the RAF from the ground.
The first book, The Girls in Blue, introduces the series and its setting among women at an RAF station. The East End Girl in Blue shifts focus to a character from London’s East End, bringing a working-class perspective to the wartime WAAF experience. The Officer Girl in Blue rounds out the trilogy by following a character who has risen to officer rank, with the different social position that brings.
Miller uses the WAAF setting to explore how the war brought women from different backgrounds into shared circumstances. The books have the accessible, character-driven quality of her other WWII series, with the distinctive setting of RAF stations and the specific routines and pressures of life in the women’s auxiliary services.
