About This Book

Three college-aged Rover boys acquire a biplane and learn to fly, setting off on aerial outings that spark a chain of adventures. The aircraft goes missing and is pursued by land and air through woods, swamps, and moonlit roads, while storms, mechanical troubles, and encounters with old enemies complicate matters. Ground chases centered on a touring car and its chauffeur lead the group to an old mansion and a legal confrontation. The narrative concludes with a roundup that recovers the machine, exposes the threat, and reunites the friends.
