A new musical telling the remarkable true story of the first eight female pilots to fly for the Air Transport Auxiliary during WWII. From ferrying Tiger Moths to flying fighter planes, they fight to fly military aircraft in the face of danger, prejudice and relentless scepticism. As the war intensifies, they challenge restrictive rules and demand recognition, helping the ATA become the first organisation in Britain to award women equal pay. Bold and inspiring, The First 8 celebrates the courage, heartbreaks, unbreakable friendships and legacy of those who reshaped aviation history.
