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! “First Stop Honolulu” has Ted Scott on the trail of more flying records as well as the trail of a cold-blooded killer. Ted faces just about every peril imaginable, including drunken thugs, his plane afire, mid-air lightning strikes, and a storm like no other. “First Stop Honolulu,” written by John W. Duffield (aka Franklin W. Dixon), is easily the most exciting of the first four novels in this wonderful series. 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.
