Description

Harvey Hamilton is a young aviator whose daring spirit has already carried him and his loyal friend Bohunkus “Bunk” Johnson on a thrilling rescue of a kidnapped girl in Philadelphia. Fresh from that triumph, the pair set out again, only to watch Bunk vanish with the eccentric Professor Milo Morgan aboard his sleek monoplane, the “Dragon of the Skies,” bound for an audacious crossing of the Atlantic to Africa. The sudden loss leaves Harvey wrestling with regret and a fierce determination to bring his companion home.

Unsure of where to turn, Harvey confides in the seasoned detective Simmons Pendar, the same man who helped untangle the earlier kidnapping case. Together they weigh the clues—a hurried departure, a mysterious aircraft, and the professor’s reputation for invention—and devise a plan that could send Harvey soaring into unknown skies. As the mystery deepens, the young flyer must decide whether to chase the fleeting trail or wait for fate to reveal the truth.
