Tom Swift and His Airship

Tom Swift and His Airship is the third volume in the first Tom Swift series. Tom has just finished his latest invention - the Red Cloud, a fast and innovative airship. Tom is anxious for a cross-country trial, but just before he and his friends take off, the Happy Harry gang rob the Shopton bank. No sooner is Tom in the air than Andy Foger blames him for the robbery. Suddenly, he's a wanted fugitive but doesn't know why until he's halfway across the country. With no safe harbor or friend on the land below, Tom must race back to Shopton to clear his name before he's shot out of the sky (Wikipedia).
