Moonlight And Moonshine

Lieutenant George Arlington Hemingwood is the kind of Air Service officer who can step from a Boston drawing room into a mountain wilderness and seem more at home in the cockpit than anywhere else. Cheerful, impeccably groomed, and notoriously unlucky, he has survived one forced landing after another, yet still greets danger with humor and relish. When he is assigned an urgent aerial photographic survey of the rugged Salters River region in Kentucky, he heads for the mountains with delight rather than dread. At Goddard Field and then in the isolated town of East Point, Hemingwood finds that the mission is about more than maps. A spirited schoolteacher, Gail Morgan, catches his attention, while the wary townspeople, suspicious garage owner Ballardson, and cautious storekeeper Mumford hint at deeper trouble. As Hemingwood and Sergeant Apperson begin the painstaking work of building an aerial mosaic, sabotage, threats, and a warning note make it clear that someone wants them gone. Against a backdrop of wild terrain, moonshine suspicion, and local hostility, Hemingwood's wit, courage, and easy charm are tested in a tense, adventurous mountain story.
