SYNOPSIS
In Edwardian England, aeroplanes
are a new, magical invention, while female pilots are rare indeed.
When shy Della Dobbs
meets her mother's aunt, her life changes forever. Great Auntie Betty has come
home from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, across whose windswept dunes the Wright Brothers
tested their historic flying machines. Della develops a burning ambition to fly
and Betty is determined to help her.
But the Great War is
coming, and it threatens to destroy everything - and everyone - Della loves.
