About:
A new musical telling the remarkable true story of the first eight
female pilots to fly for the Air Transport Auxiliary during WWII. From
ferrying Tiger Moths to flying fighter planes, they fight to fly
military aircraft in the face of danger, prejudice, and relentless
scepticism. As the war intensifies, they challenge restrictive rules and
demand recognition, helping the ATA become the first organisation in
Britain to award women equal pay. Bold and inspiring, The First 8
celebrates the courage, heartbreaks, unbreakable friendships and legacy
of those who reshaped aviation history.
