Night Flying

In the accounts of the lives of several generations of Ojibway people in Minnesota is much information about their history and culture.

From a talented new author - a short, magical and very beautiful novel about a girl who can fly. Georgia Hansen is nearly 16 - the sixth generation of Hansen women who can fly. Stifled by the rigid rules of grandmother Myra (no men can join the household, anyone caught flying during the day will be cast out of the family), Georgia's mother and aunts live in fear, keeping to themselves.

No other book combines practical information on the latest aircraft technology with the most current research into the human factors of flight safety.
