Tom is hesitant to sell, but when he learns that the businessmen are actually spies working for a foreign government, he realizes that he must keep the Air Scout out of their hands at all costs.Tom and his friends use the Air Scout to embark on a series of daring adventures, including a trip to a remote island where they discover a hidden treasure. Along the way, they must outsmart the foreign spies who are hot on their trail.With its thrilling action and innovative technology, Tom Swift And His Air Scout is a classic adventure story that will appeal to readers of all ages.Any one who has taken a flight in an aeroplane or gone up in a balloon, will know exactly how Mary Nestor felt on this, her first sky ride of any distance. For a moment, as she looked over the side of the machine, she had a distinct impression, not that she was going up, but that some one had pulled the earth down from beneath her and, at the same time, given her a shove off into space. Such is the first sensation of going aloft.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
