520 _a"Prize of the Air" by Ben Conlon is a thrilling adventure novel likely written in the late 1920s. This book captures the excitement of early aviation and the challenges faced by private pilots during that era. The story revolves around the main character, Bill Barlow, who finds himself embroiled in a high-stakes situation involving theft and intrigue in the skies. The narrative follows Bill Barlow, a charismatic pilot who, after losing his passenger license for performing a dangerous stunt, accepts a job to fly a wealthy banker and his daughter to Pampa, New Mexico. As events unfold, Bill encounters his old friend Jack Harraden and inadvertently discovers a plot involving an armored car carrying gold bullion, which is threatened by unscrupulous criminals flying a heavily armed plane. Through a series of daring aerial maneuvers and confrontations, Bill proves his mettle and bravery, all while navigating his feelings for Ruth Saxton, the banker’s daughter. The story culminates in a gripping air race against time as Barlow fights to thwart the villains while also bringing back the coveted gold, ultimately finding both adventure and romance along the way.
