Description

Peggy and her brother Roy Prescott are on a dusty trek across the Nevada desert, accompanied by their friends Jimsy and Jess Bancroft and overseen by their caring aunt. The siblings carry the legacy of their late father, an inventive aeronautical engineer, who left behind plans for a remarkable, non‑capsizable aircraft. As they watch the endless white expanse, the group prepares to test the new plane while navigating the harsh alkali winds that swirl around them.

Soon they encounter James Bell, a wealthy mining magnate whose remote desert claims could be reached only by air, sparking a daring proposal to use the Prescotts’ invention for transporting precious ore. The prospect of pioneering flight over unforgiving terrain ignites the girls’ adventurous spirit, promising a blend of daring engineering, friendship, and the mysteries that lie beneath the desert’s shimmering surface. Listeners will be drawn into a world where courage takes wing before the first sunrise over the western frontier.
