by FRANKLYN, Irwin R.
Indianapolis: Bobbs-Merrill, 1930. Hardcover. First edition. Endpapers a trifle foxed, still fine in a very attractive, near fine dustwrapper with a few very short tears. A novel that claims to be "the first novel of commercial aviation." Wounded flying ace meets and courts the daredevil daughter of an airplane manufacturer, gets to design the engine of his dreams, has adventures and romance. Very scarce. (Inventory #: 67046)
