Violet the Pilot is more than inquisitive. She is loves machines! In fact, she is a mechanical genious who can fix any machine. She an inventor, an engineer! Together with her faithful companion, a dog named Orville, she explores the possibilities of building an airplane! A real airplane that flies! She hopes to enter the town's air show, but is sidetracked by an emergency that takes precedence over achieving her own goals. You will love the laughs, the action-packed pictures that show Violet's crazy bunch of flying machines doing loop-the-loops and then, lead her into a courageous rescue.

Fly along with Violet the Pilot and maybe you'll feel the excitement of starting to tinker with machines and maybe design a flying machine of your own, or maybe you'll think of something that even Violet never thought of before!
