ENGLAND, GEORGE ALLAN. Flying legion. *$1.90 McClurg
20–12813
“In a lofty tower at the summit of the palisades of the Hudson is the eyrie of the master where he dwells with his Arabian servants. Mysteriously he summons a company of thirty veterans of the war, all longing for excitement, a battalion is formed and a new, giant aeroplane, just ready for service on the Jersey shore is seized and the party take to flight for the Arabian desert. Mysteriously they went away, mysteriously they returned after scores of adventures.” (Boston Transcript) “One of the thirty with the master had been an uninvited member—a ‘Captain Alden,’ who is a mysterious personage altogether and whose identity, ultimately discovered, furnishes the story’s principal romantic interest.” (N Y Times)
