After the ?Grand Duke? and the ?Edelweiss Pilot? series, the scriptwriter Yann and the cartoonist Romain Hugault present the first volume of their new joint series, entitled ?Angel Wings?.

The story takes place in the heart of the Burmese jungle during the Second World War, and introduces the WASP (Women Airforce Service Pilots). In 1944, the Japanese forces occupy the whole of Burma and continue to advance towards India and China. The pilots of the American forces are attempting to help their allies by carrying out continuous airlifts with these two countries.

Angela Mc Cloud, a female pilot at the controls of a ?C-47 Dakota?, is on an official mission to fly over the ?Hump?, the eastern Himalayas, in order to provide the Chinese troops with weapons and equipment and tip the scales in the war. More secretly, her superiors have entrusted her with a more perilous mission ? that of investigating what is disrupting air traffic on the Burmese front.

Even though women pilots are not authorized to fly over the Burmese front, ?Angel? will have to prove herself in order to win the respect of the ?Burma Banshees? squadron.
