Sinopse
Características

Jessica Mackay has one dream - to be a pilot. Jessica lives on her family farm at Narromine, New South Wales, in the 1920s - the best place for a would-be pilot. Her father developed a passion for flying in Egypt during World War I, and Narromine lies close to the heart of Australias budding aviation industry. Even though women were among the first people to take on the challenge of the skies, Jessicas ambitions are not supported by everyone, most notably her grandfather who has firm ideas about a womans place in the world. As a junior member of the new Narromine Aero Club, Jessica is well-placed to meet pioneer aviators such as the legendary Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, as well as take part in the first Narromine Air Shows. Jennifer Bradleys story of a young girls passion for flying is based firmly on actual events in the fledgling Australian aviation industry.
