Continuing with Donald E. Keyhoe’s The Sky Raider, a serialized novel from 1929. A lot has happened so far and we’re only on Chapter three. The story so far:

    On his first day in the Air Mail Service Dick Trent seems doomed to disappointment. A heavy snow storm causes Carmichael, the station superinten- dent, to cancel arrangements for Dick’s first flight alone across the Rocky Mountains. Suddenly the door opens. Old Man Rand, owner of the service, and his daughter, Mary, enter. He has an important letter for his son. Dick offers to fly through with it. As the old man hesitates, the daughter says she believes Dick can get through the dangerous pass in the blinding snow storm. Thrilled by her show of confidence Dick soars into the storm still hearing the soft voice of the beautiful fur-clad girl.
    By a miracle, Dick negotiates the narrow pass through the Rockies. Arrived at his destination he seeks Tommy Rand. The address given him turns out to be a gambling house but Dick is refused entrance. . . .

What will Dick do? How will he get in to the Gambling house to deliver Old Man Rand’s important letter to his son? Find out in the second installment of Donald E. Keyhoe’s The Sky Raider!
