Thirty years later, the same women -- now in their 50s and 60s -- found that their service had been entirely overlooked, beginning a long debate about what it means to be officially recognized as US Veterans.
"The Order of Fifinella" follows a small group of headstrong and ambitious women, first during the war when they served as pilots, and then in the 1970s after three decades of societal change and disillusionment.

The Franklin family is on the brink of collapse. Franklin's daughter, Sally, is bold, mouthy, and fiercely patriotic. His son, William, is short-tempered, logical, and unwavering in his loyalty to the Crown.

[10-Min. 1 M, 1F]Â Â Now is 1950s Americana. And here is Hollywoodland. This is a nice western couple.
" I'm a sucker for old-time "Hollywoodland" stories, and Tennant provides an excellent addition to that particular genre here. At the same time, we've actually got different genres butting up against each other, which is a nifty trick by the author. Didn't go where I expected to go, which is excellent. Great short piece that brings a modern update to the melodramas of the time period being evoked. " - Brent Alles, NPX
