Airfield

It's 1933, and the airline business is just getting started. Beatty hangs out at the Muddy Springs Airport, where her pilot father flies in and out on mail runs. It's the most exciting place she knows-and it's the same for Moss, who hopes his skill as a mechanic will be good enough to support himself. Neither of them expect the night when the field lights fail, the storm is rising, and Beatty's father is flying the plane that's circling, circling, and almost out of fuel . . .

"Compassionate and intelligent, Beatty is very real. . . Ingold's prose is quick and spare, yet at the same time evocative and compelling...Similar in appeal to Out of the Dust."
