Sparky Ames of the Ferry Command

High over the tangled canopy of the Brazilian jungle, the roar of twin‑engine transports cuts through the humid air. When one of the planes sputters, its companion—a daring WAFS pilot named Mary Mason—refuses to abandon the stricken aircraft, even as a nervous co‑pilot, Janet, frets about a hidden “secret” that could change everything. Below, river‑bound natives watch the metal birds with a mixture of awe and dread, sensing that something is terribly wrong.

The crew’s desperate attempt to reach a remote clearing on the Rio Branco becomes a tense cat‑and‑mouse game with an unseen enemy. As the sick plane limps toward the jungle floor, Mary’s steady hands and quick thinking are tested against both mechanical failure and the looming threat of capture. Listeners are drawn into the claustrophobic suspense of wartime aviation, where every decision could mean life or death amid the unforgiving rainforest.
