JOHNNY BRICE CHASES DISASTER FOR A LIVING. THEN HE RESCUES A WOMAN WHO SEEMS TO BRING IT WITH HER.
Johnny Brice is a flying newsreel cameraman for World News, the man sent wherever disaster strikes. Shipwrecks, fires and danger are simply opportunities to get the film first and get it back to the theaters before anyone else.
His latest assignment sends him racing toward the burned passenger ship Kalolo. The surviving passengers have footage of the disaster, and Johnny’s boss wants it fast enough to make the next newsreel. Johnny’s solution is simple: fly out, parachute into the Atlantic and collect the film at sea.
That is where he meets the woman he soon calls Jinx.
She is beautiful, secretive and convinced that dangerous people are looking for her. Johnny brings her along—and the valuable film he risked his life to recover is ruined before he can deliver it.
Then it happens again. Another spectacular assignment. Another narrow escape. Another ruined scoop with Jinx somewhere in the middle of it.
Johnny does not believe in bad luck. But as the disasters mount, he starts to wonder who Jinx really is—and why trouble seems to follow her wherever his plane goes.
Trouble on His Wings is fast-paced historical fiction and action adventure fiction set in the high-risk world of 1930s newsreel aviation, where getting the picture can be almost as dangerous as becoming the story.
Drawing on his broad knowledge of the world, its people and professions, L. Ron Hubbard created vivid historical adventures shaped by the places, technology and conflicts of their time.
