"Delightful! Flying Boats &
Spies is a welcome return to a glamorous age of high-adventure and heroes--and a
tribute to the grand-adventure series of yesteryear. Rollicking and great fun,
this well-told tale of international intrigue should appeal to every generation
in a family. I look forward to future volumes in this series."
Ralph Peters, author of
Wars Of Blood And
Faith
“Flying Boats and Spies is a marvelous tale of the men and women who pioneered the sky during an adventurous era. Dodson takes his readers back to those great, old days when aviation was young and nothing seemed impossible. Reading Flying Boats and Spies made me feel like a boy all over again.”
Homer Hickam, author of Rocket Boys/October Sky, and The Ambassador's Son
