About This Book

A young aviator, recently engaged and accomplished in flying, grows restless and pursues ever-riskier flights and stunts while balancing romantic ties and rivalries. Mechanical failures, hazardous landings and encounters with local villagers force improvisation and daring, and a companion's fear contrasts with his boldness. Episodes range from rescue attempts to ventures across the border, moments of sudden fortune and hard choices about honor and responsibility. The narrative traces his evolving skill, the strain of ambition on relationships, and a final sequence that ties aviation feats, financial consequences and personal reckoning into a decisive last flight.
