SHEILA C. SERUP grew up in northern Canada and explored the rugged length of the majestic Rockies with her bush pilot father in his Cessna floatplane. In her formative years, she learned of her parents’ wartime experiences. Living in Nazi-occupied Denmark, her father witnessed nightly air raids, aerial combats and downed warplanes. In Operation Pied Piper, her mother was evacuated to Wales as a child. Sheila was steered away from flying school, and into university. With degrees from the University of Victoria and Royal Roads University, she embarked on a vibrant career in western and northern Canada as a writer, journalist, editor and communicator. Spitfire Girls Trailblazer follows in the contrails of her previous books No Old Bold Pilots and Found Fragments: Stories of Courage and Valour.
