EVERY TEST FLIGHT ENDS IN A CRASH. LUCKY MARTIN KNOWS HIS DESIGN ISN’T THE PROBLEM.

Lucky Martin is one of America’s top test pilots, and he has staked everything on a new dive bomber built for the U.S. Navy. The aircraft is designed to plunge almost straight down at tremendous speed, pull out under crushing stress and deliver a weapon with unprecedented precision.

There is only one problem: every test seems to end in disaster.

As wings fold, planes crash and the Navy loses confidence, Lucky keeps searching for the flaw. He knows the design should work. Then a businessman offers to buy the aircraft for a foreign power—and Lucky begins to suspect that the failures are not engineering mistakes at all.

Someone wants the Navy to abandon the plane. Someone else wants the design badly enough to steal it. And the closer Lucky gets to proving sabotage, the more dangerous the next test flight becomes.

To save the aircraft, Lucky will have to prove what it can do in the sky while staying ahead of men who would rather see the dive bomber destroyed than remain in American hands.

Set in the tense world of early military aviation, The Dive Bomber is fast-paced historical fiction and action adventure fiction driven by test flying, aircraft design, sabotage and high-stakes aerial danger.

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.

Part of the L. Ron Hubbard Historical Fiction Collection—12 books featuring 17 classic stories—available in paperback, eBook and full-cast dramatized audiobook. If you enjoy the historical adventures of Jack London and Wilbur Smith, discover another master storyteller of historical fiction.
