The story begins at the lower end of Palafox Street in Pensacola, Florida, with its wharves and old coffee houses, where a group of boys form a fishing club. Storms, rescues at sea and the arrival of Jerry Blossom lead them toward flying, and a coddled boy finds his courage. It is early aviation seen through the eyes of youngsters eager to try it.
A cheerful Gulf Coast adventure from the early days of flight, for young readers. Download the free EPUB.
