Description: A radio-controlled aeroplane! What fantasy for the 1930s. This is a novel of daring deeds that could have been written in English by W.E. Johns or John Buchan. Meant for younger readers, I suspect, but what thrills and excitement. A good read for those even with a limited command of the French language.
