Could've sworn I'd put this up before, but, it seems I didn't. Anyway this is a review or sorts for The Great Airport Mystery, both in its original and revised editions.
PLOT
The original plot has the boys buzzed by a piss head of a pilot in his plane whilst driving down one of the dirt roads in town. It leads them to a mail thief and being framed for the crime by the Bayport police.
In order for them to get back their reputation and catch the crook, the boys, ignoring pressurization and temperature changes, stow away in the tail section of the crooks airplane and finally get the gang. Its been about a year or two since I've read this, so its not so fresh in my mind but this is the gist of what I remember of it.
The remake has them investigate a series of cargo thefts of platinum parts from the Stanwide airport co offices and the ghost of a pilot downed over a French part of the Caribbean. It's not a bad update although the ending seems a little rushed for my liking.
The main story remains the same, even if its platinum parts rather than the company payroll, that is the object of the thieves crime.
You can read both the remake and the original here and here.
