Runaway

(Warning: This story takes place in 1969, while Asian hate and sexism were very common due to the bombing of Pearl Harbor/Hiroshima/Nagasaki! This is a very major plot point!)
Mako, a 24 year old Japanese fighter pilot risks everything to leave her home to pursue becoming a mercenary, much to her fathers dismay. With little social skills, lack luster hand to hand combat abilities, and little physical body strength, will her deadly aim and dangerous flight patterns be enough for the team to keep her around? Will her determination to redeem her family's honor bring her wild success or her fatal flaw?
