The Ghost of Mystery Airport

Van Powell

Adventure, Children & Young Adult Reading, Novels

Three young pilots venture into the night sky over a treacherous Florida swamp, chasing a ghost that has been terrorizing aviators at a newly opened airport. Thirteen-year-old Chick is terrified, his hands trembling as the engine dies and they glide helplessly toward the murky marsh below. His older friend Garry tries to project calm, but even he can't ignore the eerie shimmery clouds that pilots swear mark the phantom's approach. Scott, their experienced pilot, laughs at superstition - but the ghostly apparitions have grounded too many brave fliers for comfort. Is it a vengeful spirit from an old plane crash, or something far more sinister: an enemy sabotaging the airport's future? As they plummet toward the swamp with no engine and failing nerves, the answer waits in the darkness below. This is high-flying adventure at its pulp-era finest - three friends bound by courage, fear, and the unshakeable belief that the sky holds secrets worth dying to uncover.
