Daring Wings is the first in a four-book series for young boys published 90 years ago. Its hero is Tim Murphy, pilot extraordinaire (thus my 5-star rating) and intrepid reporter for the Atkinson (Kansas) News.
A pilot / news reporter? Well, yes, and an adult reader may need to suspend disbelief over some of the other content and scenes, but the book does move along at a snappy pace from his original opportunity to fly and report, his battling with weather, balky airplanes, a Mexican revolutionary, and, ultimately, the mysterious antagonist, the Sky Hawk.
Hey, anything that will inspire boys to fly, I’m happy to endorse. I’ll have to read the other three of the “Tim Murphy Series” (which I own and have sat idle for too long on my bookshelf).
