Hardcover. First edition. Illustrated by Frank Dobias. Two blanks excised (but not the patterned art deco-design endpapers) else near fine lacking the scarce dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author: "To Trudy – My perfectly swell 'Lafayette' neighbor – January – 1931. Raoul Whitfield." A collection of aviation stories for adolescent boys, issued at about the same time as the author's better known noir mysteries. The only book by this author we've seen either signed or inscribed.
