About This Book
A young aviator confronts panic and guilt when his devoted companion leaves with an eccentric inventor aboard a remarkable monoplane bound for a hazardous transoceanic expedition. Refusing to remain idle, he seeks a detective’s counsel, traces the inventor’s experimental methods and likely routes, and mounts a daring pursuit. The story alternates between inventive workshop scenes and vivid aerial action as reconnaissance, ingenuity, and camp encounters propel a tense search; themes of technological daring, loyalty, and cautious problem solving drive a sequence of adventures aimed at preventing disaster and recovering the missing friend.
