As a teenager growing up on a farm near Healdsburg, California, MargeÕs headwas filled with thoughts of proms, pranks and other school activities when theU.S. abruptly entered World War II. It was a time of great curiosity in equalmeasure with fear and a longing for things to return to normal. Her generationwas forced to grow up fast, into a world that was never the same as it hadbeen. Marge tells of the war years at San Jose State College, virtually anall-girls school, and her decision to join the Navy WAVES while still incollege. She went off to boot camp at HunterÕs College in New York Cityand served on active duty at North Island Naval Air Base in San Diego,where she updated aeronautical charts for pilots and witnessed theamazing evolution from piston to jet-powered fighter aircraft.The book, sprinkled with correspondence between two WAVES,both working with airplanes, contains many original fighterplane photos taken by Marge and fellow WAVE, Jean Broadbent.
