A little about the story

Tom Swift has invented an air glider, and his friend Ned Newton is not sure it is safe. A daring project takes them to Siberia in search of a platinum treasure, where they must rescue an exile, Mr. Petrofsky, and outwit spies and the hand of the Czar.

Great gales, rival adventurers and plenty of inventive engineering follow in this classic from the original Tom Swift series.
