Armchair Fiction is proud to offer beautiful paperback editions of the first four books in the classic Ted Scott Flying Stories series: “Over the Ocean to Paris,” “Rescued in the Clouds,” “Over the Rockies with the Air Mail,” and “First Stop Honolulu,” all written in 1927 by John W. Duffield (aka Franklin W. Dixon), illustrated by Walter S. Rogers, and published by Grosset and Dunlap. Unlike Ted’s Hardy Boys counterparts, there were no later updated versions offered by Grosset and Dunlap. The Ted Scott series was discontinued in the mid-1940s and old copies of the originals were the only editions available to collectors—until now! In this second exciting installment, “Rescued in the Clouds,” (by John W. Duffield, aka Franklin W. Dixon), the reader finds Ted Scott using his top-notch plane to help the victims of a cataclysmic flood, all the while rescuing burning airplanes, battling man-eating crocodiles, fending off poisonous snakes, and trying to outwit enemies who would rather see him in a coffin than in the air! Like the Hardy Boys, the excitement in the Ted Scott stories is rapid-fire and engaging. So get ready for an entertaining slice of nostalgic, idyllic Americana, back when the good guys and the bad guys were as discernible as day and night.
