About This Book

Three teenage friends who own an airship undertake a mission to help a family in financial trouble, moving from workshop repairs and proposed hydroplane modifications to attendance at an aviation meet. When Mr. Jackson ascends in a dirigible and is blown out to sea in a storm, the boys rebuild and outfit their craft to pursue him, facing storms, escaping gas, wreckage, a whale attack, and an incapacitated crew. The action-driven narrative highlights technical ingenuity, cooperative problem-solving, and the hazards of early flight as the youths strive to rescue the drifting aerostat and its occupants.
