The Rover Boys in the Air; Or, From College Campus to the Clouds

"The Rover Boys in the Air; Or, From College Campus to the Clouds" by Arthur M. Winfield is an early 20th-century adventure following the Rover boys—Dick, Tom, and Sam—as they leap into the exciting world of aviation. This tale of friendship, courage, and discovery begins with the boys, now young college students, eagerly preparing their new biplane, the "Dartaway", for its first flight, but their enthusiasm quickly turns to disarray when an accident sends the aircraft soaring without a pilot and injures Dick in the process. The story takes us into a world where they not only learn the challenging art of flying but also face old rivals, like Tad Sobber and Josiah Crabtree, setting the stage for thrilling escapades that lie ahead.
