Man-Killers of the Air

"Take a touch of Charles Lindbergh, mix in a dash of Evel Knievel, throw in one man-killing cat-and you¿ve got a recipe for a rip-roaring adventure featuring the high-flying, hard-living Smoke Burnham.

There¿s not a dare Smoke won¿t take, and there¿s not a wager he won¿t make.  Now he¿s betting his life that he can fly his plane, Super Comet-with his pet cheetah Patty coming along for the ride-across the mountains and jungles of South America to a prize-winning payday.

All he has to do is out-race the competition, out-maneuver a saboteur, and make out with his girl-who¿s determined to bring him down to earth.  One thing you can count on-in the air, in a fight, or in his girlfriend¿s arms-he¿s a man who likes to turn up the heat.  Because where there¿s Smoke, there¿s fire.

In 1931, as a student at George Washington University, Hubbard founded the college Glider Club and within a few months a respected columnist said ¿he is recognized as one of the outstanding glider pilots in the country.¿  Later he wrote as the aviation correspondent for the prestigious flying magazine Sportsman Pilot.  His combined writing and flying expertise comprised the perfect recipe to give stories like Man-Killers of the Air their authentic flavor."

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher


“One of the things that comes to mind when I pick up a work by L. Ron Hubbard is that he is able to cross genres and maintain his high standards of quality and interest. His stories also give the feel of experience and firsthand knowledge of the subject matter.” —Baryon Fanzine

"The stories are great adventures." Gil Wilson, Gil-T Pleasures Blog

"He wrote Westerns, swashbucklers, air adventure, mysteries, espionage thrillers, science fiction, fantasy, tales of the Orient, sea tales, and even Yukon tales in the tradition of Jack London." — Antique Trader

"...they're timeless." —Paul Goat Allen, Editor B&N Explorations

"L. Ron Hubbard was a master storyteller and a major literary figure in the 'Golden Age' of pulp magazine publishing.... A master author in all of the diverse and varied action-adventure genres, these three newly reprinted titles will be especially welcome by those already familiar with Hubbard's work -- and serve as an admirable and highly recommended introduction for those new to the 'Golden Age' of pulp magazine fiction!" —The Midwest Book Review
