Along the way, she wins the hearts of two men-one she will marry; one she cannot forget-and falls into a love triangle culminating in a daring rescue mission into Nazi-occupied France.Take flight into a slice of 1930s Southern California life-air races, Hollywood, movie stars, dangerous flying machines, the Great Depression, and more in an adventure set in the same period as The Rocketeer and Chinatown.". . . fast-paced and well plotted.
