The sources for most of the following stories come from personal scans and OCR-ings of books. Two of these come from digital files found on a Russian website. Efforts have been made to find and fix obvious errors, but there will inevitably be a few that got past.
The covers are from various Internet sources, and have been cleaned and fixed of cover tears, scratches and misaligned placement on scanners (cut off edges or corners being the chief result).
AT THIS TIME WE ONLY HAVE THE FIRST 6 BOOKS IN THE SERIES BUT WILL WORK TO COMPLETE THIS.

Book 2: Dave Dashaway and his Hydroplane

Running an airship took nerve, steadiness of purpose, a definite, concrete way of looking at things.
