Middle grade adventure/ alternative historical fiction; third in a trilogy. This book dives right back into the action with our young superhero trio The Infinity Trinity going to Chicago where Mae's aunts are. Both of Mae's aunts are pilots, though they can't officially be part of the war effort due to being both Black and female. Mae also surprises Akiko and Josie when she informs them she has been taking flying lessons from her aunts. The girls get involved in a spy plot that is targeting the city and soon find the supervillain Metallic Falcon is involved. After the battle they intercept a coded message leading them to believe their beloved superheroes are being held captive in Paris. Determined to help in any way they can, they stowaway on an overseas flight to London. Once there they have to figure out how to get to Paris, how to help the heroes, and how to defeat Metallic Falcon.
Like the first two books, this story combines real historical people and events with the superhero plots. This book would not stand as well on its own because this dynamic is already established. I enjoyed reading more about WWII, some of the unsung women heroes, and these characters. It was also interesting to read the scenes set in London while it was under heavy bombing. A satosfying end to the series.
