| Summary |
"The Ghost of Mystery Airport" by Van Powell is a novel likely written in the early 20th century. This adventurous tale unfolds around a group of young pilots, primarily focusing on Garry Duncan, his friend Chick, and their pilot Scott, who embark on a ghostly investigation involving strange apparitions rumored to disrupt flights around their newly opened airport. At the start of the story, Chick reveals his fear and trepidation as the trio prepares to glide over a swamp, searching for a ghost that has spooked several pilots. Garry, the more confident of the boys, tries to reassure Chick while Scott, the seasoned pilot, expresses his eagerness to solve the mystery that has plagued the airspace. Initial discussions link the ghost sightings to an old plane crash, prompting a plan for tonight's flight to pinpoint the cause and perhaps prove the phantom's existence as mere superstition. As they venture into the abyss of murky darkness, implications of an enemy sabotaging the airport's business and paranormal theories swirl, setting the stage for a conflict filled with both suspense and camaraderie.
