Dave Dashaway The Young Aviator

In the tradition of the Bobbsey Twins and the Hardy Boys, come fly away with young Dave Dashaway in his monoplane!

Dave has run away from his miserly, abusive guardian with no money or possessions of his own—even his clothing has been stolen—but armed with his wits and a cheerful nature, he makes friends quickly and gets ever closer to his dream of flying an airship.
