'The Bionic Woman' (Part 1) (Story Code '41244') by Kenneth Johnson

Steve returns to his home town of Ojai in California, and meets his old flame, Jaime Sommers. Their romance is rekindled, and it is not long before they become engaged and set a date for their wedding. But when Jaime later enjoys a skydiving trip, her parachute malfunctions and she is badly injured after crashing to the ground. Steve implores Oscar Goldman to help, and Doctor Rudi Wells is called in to carry out a bionic operation, replacing Jaime’s legs, right arm and ear with artificial parts. As Jaime begins her recovery, Oscar makes plans to use her new advanced hearing to break open the vault of a counterfeiting ring - but Steve objects, unwilling to risk his fiancé’s life again…
