About This Book

The story follows a group of Boy Scouts whose patrol leaders organize hikes, camp life, and amateur aeroplane experiments that lead them into a sequence of field adventures. While testing a model they find evidence of clandestine visitors and a mysterious explosion, prompting tracking, sleuthing, and repairs to their craft. Encounters with a military flying squadron bring aerial demonstrations and brief service in wartime aviation, and the scouts help uncover foreign spies. Episodes emphasize scouting skills, resourcefulness, friendship, and practical mechanics, and the narrative closes with the boys returning home after resolving the local dangers.
