"Frank Reade Jr.'s Air Wonder, The 'Kite'; Or, A Six Weeks' Flight Over the Andes" by “Noname” is a serialized adventure story likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative centers around Frank Reade Jr., a gifted young inventor, and his air-ship, the Kite, as they embark on exhilarating journeys filled with danger and excitement in the Andes Mountains. The plot unfolds through a thrilling mix of exploration, villainy, and the
plight of a desperate love, featuring key characters like Royal Harding, who seeks to retrieve a treasure and rescue his love, Mabel Dane. The opening of the story sets an intense tone with a gripping confrontation between two men, Royal Harding and his treacherous companion Lester Vane. Vane’s attempt to eliminate Harding leads to a perilous cliffside struggle where Harding narrowly escapes death. The high-stakes atmosphere escalates as Harding is left clinging to a ledge while Vane escapes to secure a hidden treasure. Just as hope seems lost, the appearance of Frank Reade Jr. and his flying ship offers a chance for rescue, setting the stage for a series of thrilling adventures involving brigands, treasure, and the bonds of friendship and betrayal that will challenge the characters throughout their expedition.
