About This Book

A group of neighborhood boys form a Young Aviators club and stage toy aeroplane contests that ignite a rivalry with a rougher local gang. The competition escalates through pranks and sabotage, draws the youths into Boy Scout organization and hands-on aeronautical enterprise, and embroils them in adventures including circus incidents, a stolen aircraft, secret signals and river-side mysteries. Midnight raids, captures, and the exposure of an aeroplane spy conclude the action, combining resourcefulness, teamwork, and early aviation enthusiasm in a series of fast-moving episodes for young readers.
