Description
Frederick C Davis, author of Haunted Hangars and Ordeal by Air, wrote Plane Jane, a short tale of flying folk from the pulp magazines. The star is Jane Alton, a young woman with a pilot's license who, in the words of the man who tells the tale, was born to grace the air. She loves flight and takes any chance to get into the sky.
Ned Knight, her teacher and fellow pilot, and his friend Benny, who tells the tale, both feel Jane's pull. On a bright, calm morning she talks her way into the front seat of a plane built by her father, bound on a check ride to gather test data for him. Davis writes brisk, joking talk. The story shows the thrill of early flight and a heroine who claims her place in the cockpit.
