The Girl Aviators' Sky Cruise
To most girls a coaching or yachting trip is an adventure. How much more perilous an adventure a "sky cruise" might be is suggested by the title and proved by the story itself.
The Girl Aviators' Motor Butterfly
The delicacy of flight suggested by the word "butterfly," the mechanical power implied by "motor," the ability to control assured in the title "aviator," all combined with the personality and enthusiasm of girls themselves, make this story one for any girl or other reader "to go crazy over."
Aviation is not confined to the sterner sex as has been shown by the flights made by Harriet Quimby and other daring young women. Girls who are fond of adventure will thoroughly enjoy reading these books, which are wholesome and free from sensationalism.
Price, postpaid, 50 cents per copy or the four books for $1.75.
