Goodreads asked Catherine Yee:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Catherine Yee Ah, that's an easy one. I'm an Air Force veteran and fascinated with Air Force history during and after WWII. I was assigned to 8th Air Force at Westover AFB, Massachusetts. I've researched women pilots ever since I read "The Stars at Noon" by Jacqueline Cochran. Clare, the heroine in the story, came to me in a dream one night and many nights after that. She told me the story and I typed it. It's all Clare's fault.
