It's relitively short with good and bad guys from back when
The book has references to some of the old magazine published novels and that's what this is. It's and old story before cell phones and no reference to TV. It's relitively short with good and bad guys from back when.
Five Stars
I read a lot and enjoy all kinds of genres. I liked this book.
Two Stars
Sentence structure is very poor.
Four Stars
a good adventure.
Before Pearl Harbor - Watchful Eyes on American Planes!
Story about a struggling airline that could make it big by selling an aircraft design to a slimy fella who may be a part of an enemy government. Lucky knows that his design works and that it will create the fastest bombers in the business.
But people keep dying and he nearly does (!) when he tries his design out. The wings fold up and there's quite an explosion on the fields!
Bad luck gets worse when the military bows out of financing this boondoggle. Could it be someone is tampering with his plane to make him look bad? And what of the girl who now has taken over the business? Will she falter and tell Lucky to take the money and run? Five million is nothing to sneeze at, especially in 1940!
Interesting pulp tale, written before Pearl Harbor (1941); I thought the mix of airplane master designer, some corny love tale, and sprinkled with some espionage makes for a tasty pulpy dish.
Check it out.
