Overview
From a house on the edge of her family's dustynbsp;nbsp;farmland airstrip near Chicago, the child Cassienbsp;nbsp;O'Malley would sneak into the night to look at thenbsp;nbsp;planes sitting shimmering in the moonlight. Hernbsp;nbsp;World War I veteran father, Pat, wanted his son tonbsp;nbsp;be a pilot, not his reckless, red-hairednbsp;nbsp;daughter. But it was Cassie who had the gift. Ever sincenbsp;nbsp;she could remember, Cassie felt the pull ofnbsp;nbsp;getting in a cockpit and taking to the skies.nbsp;nbsp;Observing all the while was her father's junior partner,nbsp;nbsp;Nick "Stick " Galvin, a fellow war acenbsp;nbsp;and airborne daredevil. Nick would become hernbsp;nbsp;confidant and best friend, willing to break all thenbsp;nbsp;rules to teach her to fly, knowing that thenbsp;nbsp;greatest gift he could give her was the freedom ofnbsp;nbsp;flying.
When California entrepreneur Desmon Williamsnbsp;nbsp;sees Cassie in a local airshow, he invites her tonbsp;nbsp;California where she breaks new ground as a testnbsp;nbsp;pilot. Soon Cassie's record-breaking flights makenbsp;nbsp;her a media darling. Drawn by Desmond's plans fornbsp;nbsp;her to break Amelia Earhardt's records, butnbsp;nbsp;determined to avoid her mistakes, Cassie trains fornbsp;nbsp;the remarkable journey around the world. Fromnbsp;nbsp;public appearances to press conferences, easily usednbsp;nbsp;by both her husband and the press, Cassie realizesnbsp;nbsp;that there is more to life than making headlines.nbsp;nbsp;Risking her life, pushing herself to her limits,nbsp;nbsp;she decides to chart her own course and pursuenbsp;nbsp;her own destiny, whatever it costs her.
nbsp;nbsp;Wings is set in a time of constant change,nbsp;nbsp;when the world was on the brink of war and thenbsp;nbsp;skies were filled with adventurers, a time whennbsp;nbsp;courage and daring forever changed modern-daynbsp;nbsp;aviation.
