<p>In this interview, Liz talks with author Clare Mulley about two incredibly complex and fascinating women: Hannah Reitsch, who was the first female helicopter pilot in the world and a fanatical Nazi, and Melitta Stauffenberg, who was an aeronautical engineer and test pilot for the Nazi regime, but who was also a resistor. </p><p>Clare has written three historical biographies including THE WOMAN WHO SAVED THE CHILDREN: A BIOGRAPHY OF EGLANTYNE JEBB, FOUNDER OF SAVE THE CHILDREN; THE SPY WHO LOVED: THE SECRETS AND LIVES OF CHRISTINE GRANVILLE who was Britain’s first female special agent in WWII; and the Aviatrix Book Club discussion book for May 2021, THE WOMEN WHO FLEW FOR HITLER: A TRUE STORY OF SOARING AMBITION AND SEARING RIVALRY.
