But when he discovers that his chief tormentor, Roy Burnette, is still struggling with a charge of cowardice that goes back to the Big War he decides to help Roy search the swamp for the remains of the B-24 that will prove his story of a mid-air explosion. The search is hampered by Hurricane Hulda, a mystery saboteur who rigs their Super Cub for a mid-flight crash, nosy newspaper reporters, water moccasins and rattlesnakes. . . enough for any kid pilot to test his mettle on.
