About This Book

Two young aviators pilot a glass‑enclosed monoplane through a daring night storm and then join an expedition into rugged mountain country. The aeroplane serves as their primary means of travel, observation, and tracking across high plateaus, canyons, and timbered slopes. They encounter hunters and guides, undertake tense hunts for mountain goats and trout, and endure episodes of becoming lost while navigating by instruments. Mechanical troubles, severe weather, and close encounters with wild game repeatedly test their skill and courage. Action-filled aerial maneuvers alternate with camp preparations, hunting lore, and vivid mountain scenes.
