A little about the story
Young millionaire Dick Hamilton is out in his new motorboat when he sees a biplane fall from the sky. The accident starts him thinking, and when a colonel tells him about a government prize for the best aircraft, Dick resolves to build an airship of his own.
Rival inventors, suspicious goings-on and a cross-country flight follow, with army aviators watching every move. It is an exciting look at the early days of flight from Howard R. Garis.
