Air Monster

A new edition of Edwin Green's 1932 "boy's novel" about the world's largest dirigible and the mysterious conspiracy to prevent its completion. The original cover describes the action this way:

"Lines away "

This is a story of the world's greatest dirigible and of the dangers in the frozen wastes of the Arctic - a combination sure to provide thrills for every reader.

The Goliath, largest dirigible in the world, is to meet the submarine Neptune at the North Pole. The Neptune encounters one mishap after another in the drifting ice of the Arctic and Harry Curtis, its radio operator, sends an S.O.S. to Andy High, assistant commander of the Goliath. The dirigible starts north, Captain Hawkins, the commander, is stricken, and Andy takes charge of the rescue attempt.

What befalls the Goliath on the Arctic trip is only a part of the smashing action of this great book for boys. It's alive and up-to-the-minute in every detail.
