About the author
Born in Iowa in 1886, Earl Peirce was an American author remembered mainly for adventure fiction written for younger readers. He wrote popular series novels including the Ted Scott flying stories and the Bungalow Boys books, part of the energetic wave of early aviation and action tales that appealed to young audiences in the early 1900s.
Beyond writing fiction, he also worked in journalism and publishing. Sources about his career describe him as an editor and publisher in Iowa, which fits the brisk, accessible style of his books.
Peirce died in 1958. While he is not as widely known today as some of his contemporaries, his stories remain of interest to readers who enjoy vintage juvenile adventures from the dawn of the airplane age.
