FROM PUBLISHER: In 1933, fifteen-year-old Beatty hangs around a small Texas airport waiting for visits from her pilot-father from whom she longs to learn about her deceased mother.

FROM AMAZON: In the early days of aviation, Beatty and Moss hang out around the airport Beatty's uncle manages. Beatty is hoping to see her father when he flies in--and quickly out again--on a mail flight. And Moss is hoping his mechanical skills will help him to support himself. Neither anticipates their crucial roles in the airfield's survival--or in saving Beatty's father's life. ( )
