Stephen Doster’s biography of Marjorie Catherine Terry Terry-Smith Doster, Her Finest Hour

IRVING, Texas - July 2, 2015 - PRLog -- Stephen Doster’s biography of Marjorie Catherine Terry Terry-Smith Doster, Her Finest Hour, is now available!



Terry Doster, who will turn ninety-two this August, as a teenager joined the WAAF (Women’s Auxiliary Air Force) in London, during WWII. She accomplished so many things cutting-edge for women of that day: worked in RAF (Royal Air Force) Operations Rooms, was an ATC (Air Traffic Controller), volunteered to do assignments no one else dared simply because she had never done them before, and, after the war, she was one of the first female flight attendants for the BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation), now known as British Airways. This memoir is a faithful transcription of Terry Smith's own words.

Her Finest Hour serves as a reminder that freedom isn’t free and that the most unlikely people, including a typical girl in art school, can rise to life’s greatest challenges.  (release 2015)
