About This Book

The narrative follows a young reporter assigned to cover a newspaper's large prize for the furthest New York-to-San Francisco flight as rival aviators attempt the record. It chronicles the aviators' and reporter's land and air adventures—mechanical mishaps, hostile encounters, rescues, use of wireless telegraphy, stampedes and storms—and concludes with the contest's resolution.
