Damon Swift In Flight

In the sixth collection of Damon Swift invention stories, the three tales all are about various aircraft Damon has invented over the years. It all begins with the desire to build a light plane, and all before Swift Enterprises is even started. The Pigeon is a two-seat plane that starts his love of building flying machines. That is followed by his updated version, the Pigeon Special, still a two-seater but with more power, more speed and greater range. The third story concerns Damon working with the Norwegian government—and at first against the wishes of our own Government—to come up with something that can race along the surface of the waters off their coast in an effort to try to drive back what seems to be an impending invasion by the Russians in small ships capable of incredible speed. When the President finally gets behind him, he comes up with a surface effect aircraft that can run circles around the small, missile-bearing ships!
