Join Mrs. Kara Neave, author of A Nightingale Flew, as she gives an talk on the heroic stories of the Flying Nightingale's.
Join the Florence Nightingale Museum for a special free online talk Saturday 15th June.
There are many heroic tales from the second world war. The story of Jack Banks, arguably the youngest serving soldier to die as a result of enemy action during WW2, who had just turned 16 a few days before dying of injuries sustained whilst taking down a German gun battery. Or that of the Niland brothers who inspired the film Saving Private Ryan.
There are very few tales however, of the heroism displayed by those who didn’t pick up a weapon. The Flying Nightingales have little mention in history, which is surprising considering they transported over 100,000 men by air, safely to the UK.
Mrs. Kara Neave, author of A Nightingale Flew, will talk on this group of extraordinary women, with real life stories and experiences from those who were actually there.
