description: Judged by our reading panel to be "an excellent read from start to finish with a superb storyline." When industrialist William Potts and his wife adopt six-year-old orphan Rosie, they find she is pugnacious and defiant - until she sees a kite rise into the sky and knows she too must fly. William sets himself to build a flying machine, and Rosie works through the years as his mechanic. Engine designer Harry Clairville Jones joins them, but he has ambitions and is prepared to use any means to further them. In 1906 Pegasus is almost ready, and onto the scene comes Jake Smith, a man who has as deep a love of the air as Rosie herself. But Jake sparks off a deadly rivalry, and the triumph of flight twists into bitter tragedy.
