Diane of the Green Van

In the early summer of 1914, Diane Westfall tends her family farm amid the blooming Connecticut hills, where the air hums with songbirds and the lake glistens beneath a canopy of green. One bright morning she discovers a strange aircraft perched on the water, its pilot—a lanky, quick‑witted young man with a cigarette dangling from his lips—caught in a precarious situation. Their banter crackles with humor as Diane, ever practical and a bit mischievous, offers to rescue the hapless aviator, while the curious St. Bernard, Rex, watches the spectacle with skeptical bark.

The encounter sets off a lively chain of events that draws the Westfall family’s eccentric members, the local workmen, and the surrounding countryside into a light‑hearted adventure. As Diane navigates the quirks of early aviation, the stubbornness of her family’s hunting reputation, and the unexpected friendship forming between farmer and flyer, listeners are treated to a charming portrait of rural life meeting daring innovation, all wrapped in witty dialogue and vivid, sun‑lit scenery.
