Tom Swift and his Airship: Swift by Name and Swift by Nature Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In this sequel to Tom Swift and His Motor-Boat, Tom Swift and his new friend John Sharp build Sharp's dream aircraft, a hybrid dirigible/airplane. However, Happy Harry's gang is still around, and is up to no good. Why are they hanging around the bank? As usual, Tom combines his love of all things mechanical with his boyish energy and big heart to help his friends and bring the villains to justice.
I do love how these books present a window into the United States of 1910. Especially, I find the limitations on police work astounding, in light of the modern use of radio, etc. As always, Tom is presented as a good role model, which is very nice. Overall I did enjoy this book, and do recommend it to you.

Tom builds a combination airplane/dirigible using a volatile lifting gas that he invented, while a criminal syndicate frames Tom with a robbery charge.Police shootouts, incredibly fast cross-country air travel and a bang up finish for the crooks - all thanks to Tom's quick thinking, daring and ingenuity!Tom Swift, the inspirational boyhood hero of Steve Wozniak and Isaac Asimov, is an all-American young inventor in his teens. These fantastic and future-predicting stories are VERY alive today.Swift was modeled after the entrepreneurial and inventive geniuses Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, who both changed our world more than any other two people.Like Arthur C. Clarke, Swift invented or predicted many modern discoveries including the Taser, camcorder, video-phone, electric car, and several others.Join Tom as he battles international terrorists and criminal syndicates!
