Weare now getting into the heart of this great mystery and we find that the interest and suspense in the story keeps on increasing to the inevitable climax. Yet, the author always keeps ahead of you and you are never per- mitted to guess the solution to the great problem. The next installment is particularly interesting and thought provoking. THE YELLOW AIR PERIL, by Harl Vincent. This well-known author has a technique all his own and as an engineer of one of our great industrial institutions, he knows his science as few authors do. In. the present story, he has shown us how the possession of some great scientific secret as-applied to aviation may be used by unscrupulous powers, FLIGHT IN 1959, by Bob Olsen. This versatile writer has produced one of the outstanding air stories of the year and it will be long before it is surpassed. It-cer- tainly contains a terrific amount of most excellent glimpses of what the world of aviation will look like in 1959. This story is prophetic in many instances, and incidentally, Mr, Olsen has supplied a few inventions of his own, which we are certain will be realized in the very neat future. THE. AIR TERROR, by Lowell Howard Morrow. You remember “Islands In the Air” by this. well-known author, Here he is back witha most exciting air story full of adventure, science, fight and daring. Incidentally, it contains excellent aviation-science that will hold you spellbound tntil you finish the story. AND OTHERS. United States sod Canad European agents: Brentano's, London and Paris.
