About this audiobook
In 1909 aeroplanes are practically unheard of, let alone female pilots.
When Della Dobbs's great aunt comes to visit her family in Cleethorpes, Della's path in life changes forever. Auntie Betty has come home from Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, across whose windswept dunes the Wright Brothers tested their flying machines. Through her aunt's stories of 'giant birds' and a shared love of flying kites, Della decides she wants to learn how to fly a plane and Betty is determined to help her do so.
Against all the odds, Della becomes a famed pilot just as World War I begins and she decides to marry her childhood sweetheart, Dudley.
Inspired by his wife, Dudley joins the Royal Flying Corps and during the war, goes missing in France. Della defies all advice from the military and decides to fly across the channel in the hope of finding her husband alive.
Uplifting and page-turning, THE WILD AIR is a story about following your dreams against all odds, and finding love in the process.
(P)2017 Hodder & Stoughton
