A heartwarming, exhilarating novel about one young woman's determination to follow her dreams of becoming a pilot in the early 20th century.

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.

Uplifting, The Wild Air is a story about love, loss and following your dreams against all odds.
