The company founded during the novel Wings is developing and doing well, but in the meantime Europe is in flames, invaded by fascism and filled with despair. A young chateleine joins the Resistance in France, and passes on to those around her a legacy more valuable than all the beauty that fills her chateau near Angers. Flight is also the story of her half-sister, Caroline, who leaves a comfortable life among the mansions of Newport to help ferry airplanes in England during the Second World War. And as time passes and the once-small airplane company begins to expand its business, there is a secret lurking inside its corporate offices that is about to explode…
Flight was published in 1989 by Lynx Books.
