About This Book

Two young aviators test a new high-performance aircraft and are assigned to aid a search for a vanished pilot, a mission that draws them into rugged mountain and canyon country. They face mechanical failures, hazardous weather, a stranded plane, and shadowy pursuers while conducting aerial maneuvers, ground searches, and camp vigil. The narrative unfolds as a sequence of action episodes—accidents, discoveries, and narrow escapes—during which the pair apply flying skill, perseverance, and investigative effort to uncover clues and confront those responsible for the disappearance.
