Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bill Trevillian is as ruggedly handsome as he is bold and brave. Kip Lee is as strikingly beautiful as she is fiery and fearless. And they've got something in common. They're both test pilots .for rival aviation companies. Put them together and, like a young Tracy and Hepburn, sparks are bound to fly. The Second World War is raging in Europe, and England and France are looking to America for a fighter plane to match up with the superior Nazi Messerschmitt. The competition between Bill and Kip is fierce, and the stakes are stratospheric. Because there's an added element in the mix: a deadly saboteur. People say all's fair in love and war, but when there's Sabotage in the Sky, the flight path from heated rivalry to heated romance could lead Bill and Kip to crash and burn. "If you crave air adventure written by an airman who knows what a hot plane can do, don't miss Sabotage in the Sky," wrote the editor introducing the story in 1940. And Hubbard's knowledge proved prophetic-unknown to the FBI, the German intelligence service, the Abwehr, was actively gathering intelligence about American military aircraft designs and manufacturing.The author also had personal aviation experience, earning a reputation as a daredevil pilot barnstorming across the United States, landing in farmer's fields and skimming over the top of telephone wires-experiences he put to good use as a well-known aviation correspondent and one of the most accomplished writers of aviation adventure. Enemies to lovers, rival test pilots are pitted against each other to sell planes to the Allies. They have fierce competition, but the sparks fly. A deadly saboteur enters the mix. Now, their path from rivalry to romance might make them crash and burn in this thrilling pulp story of love and war.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Bob Sherman has a strength of character and purpose that would make Spencer Tracy. But signing on to the crew of the yacht Bonito, he'll need every ounce of his strength and courage to overcome the forces arrayed against him in Sea Fangs. He'll take on the forces of nature-a hurricane smashing into the boat off the Venezuelan coast. He'll stand up to the forces of ignorance-Bonito's incompetent captain. He'll defy the forces of corruption-the boat's owner, who stripped him of his land years ago. And he'll fight the forces of evil-a ruthless band of pirates who take all aboard, including the owner's daughter, to the uncharted Island of Death. His fate intertwined with a woman whose father stole everything he valued, Sherman is about to discover that there's one force as powerful, unpredictable and dangerous as the sea itself . the force of a beautiful woman's love. Hubbard had vast experience at sea. By the time he'd written this story, he had traveled twice to China on Naval vessels, had signed on a twin-masted schooner plying the Chinese coast, and had organized a five-thousand-mile expedition aboard a four-masted schooner. He had first-hand experience of the violence of the sea-and of the men who ply it-as he depicts in Sea Fangs. "A must for his legions of fans and an impressive tribute to his storytelling skills." -The Midwest Sailor Bob Sherman has his hands full trying to save the ocean yacht Bonito from capsizing in hurricane waters off Venezuela's coast— no thanks to the know-it-all attitude and incompetence of the vessel's captain. Sherman's rugged good looks and seafaring skills at least bring him the attentions of Phyllis Marmion, a raven-haired beauty and daughter of the yacht's owner. Unfortunately, Sherman's also the bitter enemy of the girl's father who, with the support of corrupt officials, had stripped him of a highly profitable drilling business and taken his land years before. More's at stake than oil fields when the ship is attacked by modern pirates and are all taken captive. Soon Sherman, crew and passengers find themselves in a dungeon jail on an uncharted island known locally as the Island of Death— a place where no one escapes, and Sherman's futile efforts have marked him for an early death.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. They don't call him Caution Jones for nothing. An ace pilot, ever since his barnstorming father was killed in an air stunt, Jones has stuck strictly to business-as the no-nonsense general manager of Trans-Continental Airlines. But, like Robert Redford in The Great Waldo Pepper, he's about to find that, sometimes, if you want to get anywhere, you have to throw caution to the wind. The race is on for a monster contract: the U.S. Postal Service. But to get it, Trans-Continental will have to circle the globe and beat its top competitor to the prize. And there's only one pilot with the skill to do it: Caution Jones. He'll have to dust off his wings and soar to heights even his father never dreamed of. The wild blue yonder has never been wilder as Jones discovers that the competition will go to any length to bring his plane down. But an even greater challenge sits in his own cockpit-his co-pilot. She's blonde, she's brazen, and she just might get Caution Jones to take the biggest risk of all.L. Ron Hubbard, the pilot, was a sensation in his flying days.As an article in the July 1934 issue of The Pilot magazine said: "Wherever two or three pilots are gathered together around the Nation's Capital, whether it be a Congressional hearing, or just in the back of some hangar, you'll probably hear the name of Ron Hubbard mentioned .for the flaming haired pilot hit the city like a tornado a few years ago and made women scream and strong men weep by his aerial antics. He just dared the ground to come up and hit him." And straight from the cockpit to the typewriter, Hubbard brought all the thrills and chills of his flight experience to his stories. Includes the aviation adventure Boomerang Bomber, in which a former U.S. Army officer undertakes a mission for the Chinese only to end up in the crosshairs of Japan's Imperial military. In a world of double- and triple-crosses, this is one conflict that can only be settled in battle .in the sky. Caution, a second-generation ace pilot, competes in a round-the-world race to win a contract with the U.S. Post Office. He begins the journey only to discover that a rival airline is trying to sabotage his every move. Also contains the story Boomerang Bomber.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the classic western movie The Searchers Jeffrey Hunter plays a young man with a mission in his heart and a chip on his shoulder. The character might well have been modeled on eighteen-year-old Lee Thompson, a trail-hand on a mission of his own-to save his dad, Diehard Thompson, the aging sheriff of Wolf River, Montana. Old Diehard's lost control of his town, and it seems every outcast and outlaw west of the Mississippi is on the prowl in Wolf River. Now Lee's come all the way from Texas to stand up for his father, a man who hasn't seen him since he was a boy and who doesn't know him from Adam. Lee's plan is a dangerous one-mix in with the desperadoes and risk death at their hand Under the Diehard Brand. But sometimes, the only way to restore the rule of law is to break it. Most of the Westerns published in the all-fiction magazines of the first half of the twentieth century were written by authors more familiar with the streets of New York than the cattle trails of Texas. Hubbard bucked the trend, and in the process changed the face of the Western adventure. He grew up in a time and a place where the Old West, though fading, still lived.His unique knowledge of the frontier, of its ways and its people, made him an authentic voice of this unique American experience. Also includes the Western adventures, Hoss Tamer, in which a circus horse trainer turned bronco buster has to figure a way to tame a gang of outlaws, and The Ghost Town Gun Ghost, the story of an old prospector who seems to have lost his wits; but is he crazy .or crazy like a fox? Eighteen-year-old Lee Thompson has a chip on his shoulder and a mission in his heart to save his dad, an aging sheriff who's lost control of his town. Lee's plan is a dangerous one-mix in with the desperadoes and risk death at their hand. But sometimes, the only way to restore the law is to break it.
