The Flying Circus by Susan Crandall

4.0

Entertaining period piece that pulls together a lot of the sweeping social changes in 1920's America. Think women's rights, early flight, rise of technology, fear of foreigners (or perceived foreigners), urban/rural divide and entertainment. WWI flier Gil makes a living doing aerial stunts. Henry, on the run from his past, crosses Gil's path as both end up in a tumble with Cora, a crazy motorcyclist. The end runs out of steam a bit, but those who take this thrill ride with Mercury's Daredevils will enjoy a good show.
