About This Book

A band of adventurous boys in a Gulf Coast port form an aeronauts' club and blend seamanship with early aviation curiosity, using an aeroplane to aid rescues, pursue a pirate mystery, and explore nearby islands. Episodes trace sea voyages, a dramatic rescue, the purchase and trial flights of their aircraft, camp life on a barrier key, and encounters that uncover local secrets including a hidden Seminole settlement and a mysterious sea chest. The tale pairs technical descriptions of contemporary flying machines with youthful camaraderie, practical seamanship, and episodic adventure.
