About This Book

The narrative follows a band of resourceful young radio experimenters after their aircraft is stolen and a local man is abducted; using radiotelephony they discover clues, travel to the border region, and launch a rescue. Their work combines hands-on technical know-how with reconnaissance, confronting saboteurs, fugitives, and a revealed betrayer, culminating in aerial maneuvers, a cave confrontation, and a coordinated relief effort. Chapters intersperse practical directions about amateur radio equipment with episodic action that emphasizes cooperation, inventive problem-solving, and the strategic use of emerging wireless technology to foil a scheme and secure a safe outcome.
