Tom Swift and his Airship
by Victor Appleton
Tom Swift has completed his latest invention: Red Cloud and cross-country tests, a fast and innovative airship. But shortly before he and his friends leave, Chopton's bank is robbed. Not before Tom blew up, but because he accused him of robbery without his knowledge. He suddenly becomes a wanted fugitive and doesn't know why until he's halfway through the country. Tom, who has no safe harbor or friend at the place below, must return to Chopton to clear his name before being shot from the sky. (source: Wikipedia)
