Go Back

The Girl Aviators and the Phantom Airship by Margaret Burnham (Print)
$15.00
Book I. and II. for a special low summer price $15.00 for limited time.
Peggy and her BFF Jess are "new" girls - they drive cars, fly planes, even fight for the same opportunities and prize money as boys in the air races. What is so “new” about that? Not much today, but they live in 1911.
Only seven years had passed since the Wright brothers' illustrious maiden flight, and the early aviation frenzy has begun.
Teenagers Peggy Prescott and her brother Roy share a love of aviation that they inherited from their late father. Mr. Prescott had always dreamed of building an aeroplane that would be free of the defects of planes already invented. Peggy and Roy manage to build a plane starting with the framework their father had begun. Peggy christens it ‘The Golden Butterfly’ and she and Roy are determined to enter it in a young aviator’s contest.
Peggy and Roy along with their best friends, Jess and Jimsy Bancroft – also sister and brother, experience many adventures – many of them while flying the Golden Butterfly. A kidnapping, missing jewels and contact with some desperate characters are just some of what the Prescotts encounter in their Long Island village of Sandy Bay.
