| Summary | "Dorothy Dixon Wins Her Wings" by Dorothy Wayne is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a spirited sixteen-year-old girl named Dorothy Dixon, who exhibits a passion for adventure, particularly in sailing and flying. The narrative begins with her brash decision to sail in potentially dangerous weather, showcasing her determination and independent spirit, which sets the tone for her thrilling journey into aviation. The opening of the novel presents Dorothy's encounter with Bill Bolton, a young aviator and her neighbor, as she prepares to set sail. Despite his warnings about an impending storm, Dorothy's pride leads her to ignore his advice and venture out on the water. This choice results in a harrowing experience during which her sloop capsizes, leading to a dramatic rescue by Bill, who arrives in an amphibious plane. The beginning establishes the relationship between the two characters, setting the stage for both romantic tension and shared adventure, as they face challenges together in the aftermath of her ordeal. This mix of adventure, courage, and an emerging partnership invites readers into a world of youthful ambition and the quest for knowledge in the skies. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
