| Summary | "Plane Jane" by Frederick C. Davis is a novel written in the late 1920s, likely during the early 20th century. This aviation-themed story revolves around high-flying adventures and the challenges faced by pilots in a competitive environment. The main topic of the book is the thrill of flight, punctuated by a romantic subplot and the tensions of an upcoming air race. The story follows Jane Alton, a passionate aviator, as she seeks to prove her flying skills and support her romantic interest, Ned Knight, who is set to compete in a crucial air derby. When Ned falls incapacitated due to foul play from a rival competitor, Jane disguises herself in her mechanic Benny's flying gear and takes control of their plane, the Alton, during the race. Her incredible skills and determination allow her to navigate through intense competition and hostility, ultimately leading to her victory. The book intertwines elements of adventure, romance, and suspense as it showcases Jane's journey to becoming a heroine in aviation and gaining acceptance in a male-dominated field.
