About This Book

The narrative follows three enterprising teenage aviators and their wealthy pilot ally as they test new aeroplanes, confront a mysterious aerial pursuer over New York, and accept a police commission after a night-watchman is killed and a bank safe is blown open. Combining daring flights, mechanical skill, and sleuthing, the youths set out for remote Pacific coastal hills believed to hide the culprits, tracing clues from hangar firesides to high-altitude chases while relying on courage, teamwork, and resourcefulness to navigate both airborne danger and criminal threats.
