Noelle Salazar's "The Flight Girls".
 

The Flight Girls by Noelle Salazar, Paperback | Barnes & Noble(R)

Am almost to the part where the characters experience the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor.

This is an engaging book even if it is a huge change from the material I usually read which is things by James Patterson, John Grisham, Stephen King, Clive Cussler, John Sandford, Lee Child, etc.
