Flight Officer Joan Worralson – Worrals, to her friends – is the titular character of author W.E. Johns' series of eleven 'girl' adventure books, the Worrals series. Along with her best friend with subtext Betty 'Frecks' Lovell and sometimes romantic interest pilot friend Bill Ashton, Worrals flies aeroplanes through World War II and beyond, always saving the day with common sense, nerves of steel, and style to spare. Thorough summaries and original artwork for all of the books can be found on this site, an excellent resource.

The books themselves are also the most hilarious, exciting, thrillingly-written, subtext-laden, feminist, amazingly kick-ass books you will EVER READ.

( Origins, adventures, romance, excerpts, and more! )

In conclusion: daring adventures! Brave and bold women! Aeroplanes! Romantic subplots and subtext! Incredibly amusing prose! All else I can say is that these books, and these characters, Worrals herself especially, own me heart, body, and soul. I hope I've convinced you to go out and experience the joy as well.
