An aviation adventure novel by Paul Berge, akin to Bootleg Skies. Set in 1937, protagonist, Kate Strauss--pilot--is flat broke and about to lose her one-biplane airline to the bank, when an offer arrives to make a few semi-honest bucks flying for the Mob. Hey, a girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do...especially when all the male pilots turn down the job. Tough times demand tougher characters, and Kate Strauss is tough enough to beat the Great Depression and all other obstacles trying to keep her from the sky.
