Description: This appears to be printing 1943A-11 of the 13th Hardy Boys adventure, as per the fifth edition of Carpentieri. (You may, of course, buy if you wish from booksellers who let their computers list every printing of this book as "published 1934.") Twenty-one HBs (through "Broken Blade", January, 1942) to front flap, which is price-coded to reflect the wartime price-fixing scheme "P.C.J." Copyright page lists 13 HBs through this title; jacket rear flap lists 20 Ted Scotts through "Pursuit Patrol" (1943); jacket rear panel offers 14 X-Bar-X Boys through "With the Secret Rangers" (1936.) Glossy frontispiece and jacket art are both signed (though of course not HAND-signed) "Gretta." Pages show considerable age-browning, mostly to edges, but are still flexible & easily read. Book will close its own boards as well as its text block, but there are a few rough spots to rear board. Jacket somewhat sun-faded to spine, and is missing a half-inch chip to top of spine. 219 pp. Here reduced from $165.

Dixon (also used for The Hardy Boys) and published almost exclusively by Grosset & Dunlap. The novels were produced between 1927 and 1943. The principal author was John W. Duffield, who also contributed to the Don Sturdy and Bomba the Jungle Boy series. As "Richard H. Stone" he also launched a second Stratemeyer aviation series, the Slim Tyler Air stories (1930?1932). Duffield was a conscientious student of aeronautical technology, and long passages in the Ted Scott books can be traced to such sources as Aviation, the New York Times, Aero Digest, and Science. The series featured Ted Scott, a public aviation hero rather than merely an amateur aviator. In the first book in the series, Over the Ocean to Paris published in 1927, Ted Scott achieved fame for being the first pilot to fly over the Atlantic Ocean to Paris, a feat first accomplished in the real world by Charles Lindbergh in May of that year.
