Aviatrices is a historical fiction piece inspired by the legendary White Squadron, a unit formed exclusively of female pilots during World War II. The story highlights the bravery of these women who saved over ten thousand soldiers by picking them up from the battlefield with their white single-engine airplanes.

It sheds light on a lesser-known aspect of the war and the often-overlooked contributions of women to the war effort.
