Description

Tom Jesson and Jack Chadwick are on the brink of their boldest experiment yet. In a secluded seaside shed they have transformed their beloved Flying Road Racer into the “Wondership,” a contraption that can roll on wheels, soar on a gas‑filled bag, and—if their calculations hold—glide across water on sleek pontoons. Their enthusiasm is infectious, and the frantic final touches reveal a blend of teenage ingenuity and daring ambition.

As night falls, the boys prepare for a secret trial flight, hoping to prove that their invention can truly master land, air, and sea. With curious townsfolk already whispering about mysterious lights in the sky, the stage is set for a thrilling first test that could change their lives forever. Listeners will be carried along the boys’ feverish preparations, the tension of unseen eyes, and the exhilarating moment when imagination meets engineering.

About the author

RB

Richard Bonner

Best known for a lively run of early 1910s adventure stories, this elusive American writer imagined young inventors tackling wireless devices, flying ships, and other high-tech wonders of the era. Very little is firmly documented about the person behind the name, which only adds to the vintage pulp mystery.
