The story was originally published in 1937 in a pulp monthly. Now this short story is told on two CDs by a cast of talented actors, musicians and sound effects technicians. I found the story of the Dive Bomber to be interesting and the performance well worth the time. I am looking forward to listening to more of these performances. The two CD set comes with an attractive 38 page booklet on the history of L. Ron Hubbard and his role in pulp fiction.

 This was cool to listen to. Hearing the planes and Lucky. I could picture the plane going straight down. I also liked the idea of the Navy having better equipment than the enemy. I have built plastic model planes before, Ju-87's, as well as Line Control Planes that really flew in the air, by using a motor. The thought that this plane stresses the wings at nine times the plane's weight, is amazing. The dynamics used to make this work are amazing. No wonder why foreign powers want the plane for themselves. This would be a cool cd to listen to on surround sound. I was worried when Lucky was almost killed, and I liked the puns around his name. This was also made into a movie and there was some drama concerning Hubbard's credit. This is one of my favorites by Hubbard. I am giving this Audiobook a 5/5 and will be renting the movie! I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own! Pertenece a las series
Lucky Martin is a daredevil of the skies--a test pilot who lives to break the rules and push the envelope. Sound like a perfect role for Errol Flynn? It did to Hollywood, as Flynn was cast in the movie of the same name. Lucky's a trailblazer--flying higher and faster than any pilot out there. His latest invention could change the face of air warfare and alter the balance of world power. It's The Dive Bomber--a perfectly designed aircraft for the U.S. Navy. There's only one problem--up to now every test flight has ended in disaster. The reason: sabotage. America's enemies will go to any length to get their hands on his design--from savage attacks to kidnapping his fiancée. Lucky'll have to push his luck to the very limit to save his plane, save his girl . . . and save his country. As a barnstorming pilot in the early days of aviation, Hubbard was dubbed "Flash" Hubbard by the aviation magazines of the day. Expanding his knowledge even more, he visited Boeing in Seattle where the president and chief engineer gave him an inside look at their test pilot program. His unique and pioneering insight of flight streaks across the page in novels like The Dive Bomber. "With thrills a plenty, The Dive Bomber is a riveting 'theater of the mind' experience that does full justice to the literary skills of L. Ron Hubbard and is wholeheartedly recommended to anyone who enjoys action/adventure stories at their very best." --The Midwest Book Review No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
