Hardcover. Zustand: Poor. Illustrated by William Heaslip (illustrator). First Edition. (no dust jacket) [ex-library book, re-bound, with typical markings and heavy shelfwear, external dampstaining to both front and rear covers, internal staining on a few pages, etc.; offered as a reading/reference copy ONLY]. (two-tone color frontispiece, B&W illus. in text) Boys' adventure fiction, a circus yarn with an aviation angle, by the noted hard-boiled writer (one of the original "Black Mask boys"). Whitfield was most famous as the author of the novels "Green Ice," "Death in a Bowl," and "The Virgin Kills," but also cranked out many short stories for the pulps, writing under almost a dozen pseudonyms. This book was the last of four he wrote for juvenile readers between 1930 and 1933. As noted, this copy is an ex-library book with all the usual depredations, and if not for its extreme scarcity I probably wouldn't offer it for sale at all. (The cheapest copy online at the time of this writing is priced at $675!).
