Tom Swift and His Flying Boat

Tom has decided that seaplane technology is in need of the Swift Touch. What is currently "out there" is not big, fast or advanced enough to suit Our Hero. A new, large and typically luxurious flying boat is designed from scratch and is built in record time. Just in time, as it turns out, to mount a rescue mission to the Artic in an attempt to save Wakefield Damon and Tom's future father-in-law, Amos Nestor. These unfortunates have been stranded on an ice berg after the schooner they were traveling on was wrecked.

In addition to the usual hazards of wind and weather, it seems agents of the newly formed Soviet Peoples' Republic are out to boat-nap Tom's creation.
