During the golden age of aviation, between the two world wars, daredevil pilots called barnstormers traveled the country and amazed people with their aerial stunts. Wings in the Clouds tells the story of one of these adventure seekers-a woman named Valerie. We first meet her when she's a teenager sneaking away from her chores to watch her uncle fly his vintage World War I "Jenny" biplane with her younger sister, Laura, who's been blind since age three. After an altercation with their strict religious father, the two sisters end up flying to California to live with an aunt. Along the way, Valerie launches a career in aviation, joining Chappie's Air Devils. Laura participates in the act as well, once her beautiful singing voice is discovered. Wings in the Clouds chronicles the life of an extraordinary woman during the exciting era of aeronautical developments that will take her from performing thrilling maneuvers in a flying circus to contributing to the war effort during World War II. Much more than a novel about a fascinating period of aviation history, this book offers readers a sweeping tale of love and romance.
