A talented young woman has just become the nation’s only female airplane mechanic, fresh from earning both commercial and transport licenses and famed for a daring solo crossing of the Atlantic. Yet her aunt, eager to see her settle into society and a proper marriage, constantly pushes her toward genteel gatherings and family obligations. The heroine resists, craving real experience in the sky rather than the polite chatter of high‑society events.
When a curious reporter drops by, the conversation quickly turns to the aviator’s next move. Amid a pile of fan mail, she discovers an invitation from an innovative autogiro company and, with a spark of excitement, decides to purchase this “flying bug” as her next aircraft. The decision promises a summer filled with new challenges, fresh horizons, and the exhilarating freedom she’s always sought.
