The Flying Girl

Orissa Kane is a bright, determined young woman working as a clerk in a bustling Los Angeles office, but her mind is forever drawn to the sky. While her boss, Mr. Burthon, insists on strict office hours, she secretly studies the latest aeronautic feats and dreams of piloting an aircraft herself. The story captures the excitement of the early 1910s, when aviation was still a daring novelty and society’s expectations for women were beginning to shift.

When an unexpected chance to spend an extra evening away from the desk lands her at the local airfield, Orissa’s resolve is put to the test. She meets seasoned aviators, confronts doubts about a woman’s place in the cockpit, and begins hands‑on training that pushes her courage to new heights. As she balances responsibilities, ambition, and the thrill of flight, listeners are invited to share in her pioneering spirit and the early thrills of an era where the sky seemed finally within reach.
