Overview

Speed Kyle's company builds the best planes around, but now he's over-extended and needs a quick infusion of cash to save it. His fate rests on the aviation skills of Cal Bradley, daredevil racer and test pilot, whom he asks to fly for him at the upcoming National Air Meet.

The prize? Awarding of lucrative contracts for plane construction and international mail delivery. But what the duo is unprepared for are the kinds of high-risk stakes involved when an unscrupulous competitor enters the race determined to do anything to win. Suddenly sabotage and one beautiful dame may spell ruin as the planes prepare to take flight.

Cattle King for a Day: "Jim Meskiman, Michael Yurchak & R. F. Daley. This audio-book could easily be made into a film by Leonard DeCaprio. Really lends itself. The rich text sounds authentic and brings the listener into the old west and the lawlessness of environs. Amazing how L. Ron could see with his typewriter the quality of all that was wild and tough to stomach. The voices enacted the audio play and perhaps denote Gregory Peck as judge impression. Kind of surprised by colorful language. But if not from L. Ron then it’s just real talk for cowboys. All in all a nice distraction for a long drive (about two hours running time) or for those who need a book read to ‘em."
