Features: Pat, the owner of O'Malley Airport, was a flying hero during World War II. His daughter, Casey, is young, beautiful, and brave, possessing an innate talent for flying. However, Pat, bound by the prejudices of tradition, forbids Casey from flying. Pat's young friend from World War I, Nick, is moved by Casey's passion for aviation and secretly teaches her to fly at an abandoned airport. A romance blossoms between them. At an air show, Casey makes a stunning debut, and her skills and courage attract the attention of aircraft manufacturer Desmond. He invites Casey to Los Angeles, where she enters a new world of aviation and becomes a shining star. When World War II breaks out in Europe, Nick rejects Casey's love and joins the military in Britain. Casey marries Desmond, but he does not love her—he merely uses her to promote his planes and company. In the end, Casey divorces Desmond and joins the Air Force, traveling to Britain to find the man she loves more than life itself. This book is filled with a spirit of freedom, courage, and adventure, yet it also features tender and heartfelt emotional descriptions. The characters are well-rounded and compelling, the love story is poignant and moving, and the prose is fresh and hard to put down.
