About This Book

Two young aviators and their companions assemble and test a new biplane, embarking on aerial contests, rescues, and a camping-out investigation after suspicious strangers appear. Their workshop experiments and flights lead to encounters with rival pilots, secret schemes involving a mysterious Mr. Marsh, and dangerous weather that culminates in a hazardous climb of Old Thunder-Top. Episodes combine mechanical detail, daring aerial maneuvers, and detective-like plotting as the boys pursue clues, foil sabotage attempts, and race storms to save lives. The narrative concludes with a decisive aerial triumph that resolves the rivalry and the central mystery.
