"Tom Swift and His Sky Racer; Or, The Quickest Flight on Record" by Victor Appleton is a young adult adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Tom Swift, a young inventor enthusiastic about aviation, who is challenged to build a new aeroplane for a prize competition. The narrative sets the stage for Tom’s determination to create a fast and innovative aircraft called the Humming-Bird, particularly in light of previous setbacks, including a rival entry from the notorious bully Andy Foger. The opening of the book introduces Tom Swift as he encounters Mr. Gunmore from the Eagle Park Aviation Association, who invites him to compete in a significant aviation meet. After some deliberation, Tom decides to accept the challenge, igniting his inventive spirit. As he plans for the aeroplane, a subplot unfolds involving Andy Foger's suspicious activities, suggesting that he may have stolen Tom's plans. This tension builds as Tom faces challenges not just in building the aeroplane, but also in contending with potential sabotage from his rival. The chapters hint at a thrilling blend of invention, competition, and intrigue as Tom strives to navigate these obstacles while preparing for the big race.
