TCA IS GOING BROKE. ONE FLIGHT AROUND THE WORLD COULD SAVE IT—IF THE COMPETITION DOESN’T BRING THEM DOWN FIRST.
J. J. “Caution” Jones is an ace pilot who would rather keep his feet on the ground. After watching his daredevil father die performing an air stunt, Caution built a career on safe, practical flying and became the no-nonsense general manager of Trans-Continental Airlines.
Now the airline he helped build is in serious trouble.
The U.S. government is considering a new round-the-world mail route worth about a million dollars a year. To win priority, an airline has to prove it can successfully circle the globe carrying mail—and TCA desperately needs the business.
Caution knows exactly why they shouldn’t try. The flight alone could cost TCA $50,000 it cannot afford to lose. Worse, rival United States Airlines is already trying to drive them out of business, and Caution is convinced its men will do anything to keep TCA from completing the flight.
But when TCA commits to the attempt, Caution is headed back into the cockpit—with fearless stunt pilot Pam Craig beside him.
Now the man famous for avoiding unnecessary risks must fly around the world in a race against time, weather and a rival willing to sabotage his every move.
The Sky-Crasher is fast-paced historical fiction and action adventure fiction set in the pioneering days of commercial aviation, when an around-the-world flight could determine the future of an airline.
Two complete historical adventures in one volume.
Boomerang Bomber — American pilot Clint Ragen is delivering a $70,000 bomber to China’s Nationalist government when Japanese authorities stop his ship at Kobe, seize the crated aircraft as contraband of war and throw him in prison. Then they discover there is one problem with their captured bomber: Clint is the only man who knows how to put it together.
