"Out of the Air" by Inez Haynes Gillmore is a story set after World War I. It follows David Lindsay, a pilot back from the war, trying to adjust back to life in New York City. He struggles with the memories of war, what people expect from him, and his dream of becoming a writer. As he meets different people, their interactions show a society that is changing after the war. David feels lost, and the story looks at how he deals with this. He thinks about his life before the war, is hesitant to talk about what he saw, and has ideas for a book about a writer named Lutetia Murray. He spends time with friends. Nightmares disrupt his sleep, hinting that something from the war is disturbing him. While David battles the war's mental effects, Susannah Ayer, a young woman, navigates the same busy city, facing her own set of problems, and her story becomes connected to David's.
