Synopsis
Excerpt from Tom Swift and His Wireless Message: Or the Castaways of Earthquake Island
By Jove! I believe I will! Exclaimed Tom. I never thought of that, though it's a wonder I didn't. I'll not take the Red Cloud, as she's too hard to handle alone. But the Butterfly will be just the thing, and Tom looked over to where a new monoplane rested on the three bicycle wheels which formed part of its landing frame. I haven't had it out since I mended the left wing tip, he went on, and it will also be a good chance to test my new rudder. I believe I will go to Philadelphia by the Butterfly.

About the Author
Victor Appleton was a house pseudonym used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate and its successors, most famous for being associated with the Tom Swift series of books. Created by Edward Stratemeyer, the Stratemeyer Syndicate was the first book packager to have its books aimed at children, rather than adults. The Syndicate was wildly successful; at one time it was believed that the overwhelming majority of the books children read in the USA were Stratemeyer Syndicate books, based on a 1922 study of over 36,000 children country-wide.
