The Spitfire Girl is a four-book WWII series by Fenella J. Miller, published between 2018 and 2020. The heroine is an ATA pilot, a woman who flies Spitfires and other military aircraft across Britain on ferry missions, a role that places her in constant proximity to danger and the machinery of war.
The series opens with The Spitfire Girl in 2018, introducing the heroine and the world of ATA flying. The Spitfire Girl in the Skies and A Wedding for the Spitfire Girl followed in 2019, taking the story deeper into the personal and professional life of a woman doing skilled, physically demanding work in a male-dominated environment. Over and Out concluded the series in 2020.
Miller uses the ATA setting to give her WWII heroine more agency and technical specificity than domestic or nursing roles typically allow. Flying itself is described in enough detail to ground the reader in the world, and the romantic thread runs alongside the aviation plot rather than replacing it. The series is among Miller’s most distinctive WWII work for the specificity of its setting and the independence of its central character.
