Tom Swift and His Airship: the Stirring Cruise of Red Cloud

Tom and balloonist John Sharp construct an airship, The Red Cloud, a combination dirigible/aeroplane built for long-distance travel. The Happy Harry gang burgle the Shopton Bank. Andy Foger blames Tom and Mr. Damon, who are flying crosscountry in the Red Cloud. It's up to Tom to catch the thieves and exonerate himself and Mr. Damon (Tom Swift Unofficial Home Page).
