Plot:Here is the dream of every schoolboy come true! With a four-engined aircraft as a school and under the command of ex-R.A.F. ace Jerry Hamilton as headmaster, a party of boys set off on a trip round the world. Their schoolwork must go on, but instead of the same dreary view from classroom windows, strange countries lie beneath them, and they meet excitement and adventure wherever they go. The rescue of Sarah Perkins, a soccer match against America, and a forced landing in the Pacific - these incidents follow hot on each other's heels, to give the lads thrills which they would otherwise never have experienced. A splendid yarn for boys, spun by a craftsman, and well able to hold its own with other titles in this fine series.
