Product Information

When it comes to flying gliders, ace pilot Breeze Callaghan is as smooth as they come. He perfects a skill that will prove vitally important for decades to come--even into the jet age, as demonstrated by Captain Sully Sullenberger, who famously landed his disabled passenger plane on the Hudson River. Sully's jet was brought down by a flock of geese, while Breeze is going up against a vulture named Badger O'Dowell. Both pilots are vying for a Navy contract, and Badger would love to shoot the Breeze ... literally. Short of that he'll do everything he can to sabotage Breeze in flight. It's game on, and as Breeze is about to discover, Badger's an expert at playing dirty. And there's much more than money at stake: there's his reputation, his life, and his love of a beautiful woman. A storm is brewing, and as for danger, the sky's the limit when Sky Birds Dare The sky is calling, the wind is whipping, and the adventure takes wing as the audio version of Sky Birds Dare soars into action. "Highly recommended for aviation action/adventure pulp fiction fans." --Midwest Book Review

Reviews"Featuring full casts plus a narrator and heaps of sound effects, these programs burst to life on audio. The sound effects especially propel the action in a way that print can't match. Hubbard (191186) researched the technical aspects of his subjects (planes, ships, weapons, etc.), lending an authentic feel to his descriptions. The brevity of the stories also keeps them moving briskly. Overall, these are three solid additions to the ongoing series, which will be enjoyed by fans of pulp writing and old-time action, adventure, and romance. Pure fun and you can't beat the price-grab 'em !" -Library Journal, "Broken wings, strong winds, and eye-popping storms are the audio backdrop to the seamless performances." --Audio File Magazine , "Featuring full casts plus a narrator and heaps of sound effects, these programs burst to life on audio.

Breeze Callaghan must convince the Navy to adopt the "soaring ships" that fly the wind noiselessly. A full cast of narrators, complete with sound effects, brings this Golden Age adventure to life. The voices of tough men, ruthless competitors, and a gorgeous woman mix with amazing sound effects. With the air streaming through the struts, the glider swoops and swerves as it imitates birds. Badger O'Dowell, a ruthless competitor, will do anything to foil Breeze's plans. Craggy-voiced Pop promotes every scheme he can to finance the suave and determined Breeze's dreams. Broken wings, strong winds, and eye-popping storms are the audio backdrop to the seamless performances. - Audio File Magazine , "Broken wings, strong winds, and eye-popping storms are the audio backdrop to the seamless performances." -Audio File Magazine , "Broken wings, strong winds, and eye-popping storms are the audio backdrop to the seamless performances." --Audio File Magazine
