About This Book

A resourceful, homeless and friendless youth with a talent for mechanics finds work in a small-town garage, where his honesty and skill clash with exploitative employers. His abilities draw him into the world of experimental aviation: he trains with an airship inventor, learns to fly, and becomes involved in spying, competition, and daring rescues. The story follows his wrongful arrest and confinement, the loyalty of new friends who secure his release, a dramatic aerial race, and a final parting that marks his growth and hard-earned recognition.
