The Great Airport Mystery
It’s almost the end of term for the Hardy boys and their chums. With tests and college (or a career as detectives) looming, the boys decide to take a drive to a newly constructed airport. However, their sightseeing quickly turns sour as an airplane crashes, nearly killing them in the process. Sore over the witnesses and evidence taking the boys’ side, the guilty pilot seems bent on revenge. The question is: just how far will he go? This book was published in 1930 and then rewritten in 1965. This Standard Ebooks edition follows the original 1930 edition.

A look inside
“It’s certainly great to have an airport so close to Barmet Bay,” said Frank Hardy.
“I wish we could go up in an airplane some time,” returned Joe, his brother.
“Then I wouldn’t be scared either. Look at the record holders! Where would they be now if they’d been afraid to go up in an airplane?”
“That’s right,” said Frank. “Airplanes are pretty safe nowadays. Almost as safe as this car of ours.”
The two Hardy brothers were driving on the Shore Road, leading out of Bayport and skirting Barmet Bay, in their new roadster. It was springtime. Snow had disappeared from the hillsides and the blue waters of the bay sparkled in the sunlight. Their destination this afternoon was the new airport, a few miles out of the city.
