9. The Plane Without A Pilot

In this new story Andy Lane and his gallant crew of air adventurers begin a long test flight in an amazing new Apex plane. Driven by the newer type of Diesel engine and steered by Iron Mike, a gyroscopic control, this great air yacht is able to steer herself through the skies with no human hands on the controls. The daring young flyers continue their long test flight through Central America, across jungles and mountain ranges, refuelling in the air so that they do not have to land; down the coast line of the Pacific, there to witness the eruption of the great volcano, Santa Maria. How Andy risks his ship and the lives of the crew to save some villagers from the wrath of the volcano; how the Apex flies in the shadows of the burning cloud; and how they land and take off on their rescue flights against almost impossible handicaps -- all these blend themselves into a stirring story which no red-blooded American boy will put down until he has read the very last page.

8. Rough Rider of the Air

Actual captor of a band of train robbers -- target of a mysterious shooting high above the ground, with nothing but a friendly plane near -- bait for a flying trap laid to catch the most notorious, the most ruthless, the most daring of border outlaws -- that's Rex Lee, the skillful, cool young aviator in this book by Thomson Burtis.  Mr. Burtis was himself a member of the famous U.S. Army Air Service's Border Patrol for years, and when he tells of Rex's stirring adventures along the border he knows whereof he speaks.  Rex not only encounters death face to face a half dozen times, but he helps to trail and outwit the venomous Von Sternberg bandit gang, and he comes to know and make friends of two of the most unusual men he's ever met -- Duke Daly, the silent secret Government operative and Buck Rariden, the talkative, fiery, red-headed manager of the Barr-Maxwell Circus.  there's action on every page of the book -- most of it flying action.

9. Aerial Acrobat

Rex Lee and his pal, Tom Service, in order to make some money for their oil wells in Texas, join the second largest circus in the world as aerial acrobats and private detectives -- the latter because they know that a series of mysterious accidents have nearly wrecked the show!  The poisoning of animals, the loosening of trapeze supports, the murder of a few canvasmen, the deliberate starting of a stampede of elephants and various other "accidents" have the outfit completely terrorized and the show is practically on the rocks.  Rex Lee sets about to get beneath the surface of the situation and break up the plot that is working the havoc.  In doing so he nearly loses his life before he discovers who the man behind it is.  There is a breathtaking scene when Rex is doing his aerial acrobatics with the pilot of the other plane, an enemy, trying to kill him off.  Here is a great flying story -- and a good circus story too -- a lot of inside dope of the circus, the life of the troupers with the "smell of the sawdust" and the thrill of the "Big Top."

10. Trailing Air Bandits

Rex Lee, nonchalant hero of the air, is called in to solve the mystery of a series of thefts and sabotage that seem to aim at the complete destruction of the World Wide Films, Inc., who are taking shots of the Texas oil fields and of a circus that is playing in the boom town, Kanemore.  Rex plunges in to get to the bottom of the mystery and finds himself involved head over heels in an elaborate plot.  It makes a story of rapid-fire action, with a background of oil fields, motion pictures, circus life, drama, mystery, adventure and heroism -- a flaming gusher that unites bitterest enemies in a common peril -- the mystery of a fleet of nine planes taking off and disappearing in thin air.  But the intrepid Rex, with his lazy drawl and nonchalant grace sets out to clear up everything including the general atmosphere of hatred and bitterness.

11. Flying Detective

A week before he is to leave the Army Air Service Border Patrol, Rex exposes a dope smuggling gang led by the daring and diabolically clever Dr. James.  As a result of this coup Rex is invited by Graves, the great power of the U.S. Secret Service to work as a flying detective.  Rex finds himself at once plunged into a series of thrilling adventures in which he wages war against a powerful gang of alienists; this is followed by a special assignment as investigator of some mysterious robberies and fatal accidents involving one of the country's largest passenger service companies.  Then comes his sensational expose of the notorious "Air Wolf" who has a whole community terrorized.  Every reader of air stories will thrill to this new record of the adventures of the nonchalant Rex Lee, one of the nations leading air heroes.
