Hanna Reitsch & Melitta von Stauffenberg were talented, courageous & strikingly attractive women who fought convention to make their names in the male-dominated field of flight in 1930s Germany.

With the war, both became pioneering test pilots & both were awarded the Iron Cross for service to the Third Reich. But they could not have been more different & neither woman had a good word to say for the other.

Hanna was middle-class, vivacious & distinctly Aryan, while the darker, more self-effacing Melitta, came from an aristocratic Prussian family.

Both were driven by deeply held convictions about honour & patriotism but ultimately while Hanna tried to save Hitlers life, begging him to let her fly him to safety in April 1945, Melitta covertly supported the most famous attempt to assassinate the Führer. Their interwoven lives provide a vivid insight into Nazi Germany & its attitudes to women, class & race.
