Appleton, Victor [pseud.]

"Tom Swift and His Air Scout, or, Uncle Sam's Mastery of the Sky"

He built a speedy motor boat, and
then secured an airship, following that with a submarine. He also
made an electric runabout that was the speediest car on the road.
Sending wireless messages, having thrilling experiences among the
diamond makers, journeying to the caves of ice, and making
perilous trips in his sky racer took up part of the young
inventor's time.
With his electric rifle he did some wonderful shooting, and in
the "City of Gold" made some strange discoveries, part of the
fortune he secured enabling him to build his sky racer. It was in
a land of giants that Tom was made captive, but he succeeded in
escaping, and brought two giants, of whom Koku was one, away
with him.
Following this achievement Tom invented a wizard camera and a
great searchlight, which, with his giant cannon, was purchased by
the United States Government. Work on his photo-telephone and his
aerial warship, the problem of digging a big tunnel, and then
traveling to the land of wonders, kept Tom Swift very busy, and
he had just completed a wonderful piece of work when the present
story opens.
