About This Book
Two inventive cousins who build and fly a hydroplane confront sabotage and mystery after their machine is left in a field; traces of masked intruders and forgotten tools prompt an investigation. The narrative follows their repair work, aerial reconnaissance, encounters with fellow aviators and scouts, and a series of clues that lead to an aeroplane chase and a daring hydroplane rescue. Technical descriptions of early flying and youthful ingenuity appear alongside cooperative problem solving and community involvement as the boys untangle the plot and help bring the guilty parties to account.
