Engines Over the Amazon: W. M. Tarrant

Rated 5.00 out of 5 based on 1 customer rating
(1 customer review)

$13.99

1934. Unemployment, soup lines, and desperation are a fact of life for many, but despite the darkness, people of means travel the world. The airplane is becoming a viable mode of travel, and flying boats offer the ultimate in luxury. Passengers lounge in ornate, spacious cabins, dine on cuisine served on fine china, eat with real silverware, and speed toward their destination at 150 miles-per-hour.

Caribbean Airways, with operational headquarters in Nassau, Bahamas, has just acquired the brand-new Sikorsky S-42 four-engine flying boat. With this plane, the airline will expand its territory deeper into South America. But first a survey flight must be made to check on facilities and the feasibility of the new route. The story follows the crew of five diverse characters who must work together to overcome mechanical issues, bad weather, corrupt local governments, and Nazi spies.

    ENGINES OVER THE AMAZON by W. M. TARRANT
    What I like about this book is that when the men are doing trials they experiment with the knobs to make the plane running lean and smooth.
    So many variables come into play and you know what they are talking about in depth if not in action.
    I can imagine my grandparents taking this flight as they loved adventure.
    Teamwork, Travel, adventure, had me on the edge of my chair.
