'Those who loved Jan and Susie in Jan's Flying Start will be delighted to meet them both again in this, the second book in Miss Carter's new "Jan" Series.

'Other friends at the Flying School are here, too; and a newcomer, a young Australian sheep-farmer, in England to negotiate a trade agreement. When the time comes for him to return to Australia, he discloses that he has bought a big plane and wants to fly home in it, but doubts his ability to do so after so short a period of tuition.

'So he persuades Jan, Susie, their father, and Kitchin, the lovable mechanic to go with him, and to stay on his farm for a while as his guests. There were adventures on the way, but they were nothing to the adventures awaiting them when the out-of-the-way farm was reached.' (Inside dust jacket)
