Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0553561928, Mass Market Paperback)In London, Indiana Jones is called to an emergency meeting. Mysterious sky craft have been ravaging the shipping lanes, making off with a fortune in diamonds, bonds, and raw materials. Unable to detect how the craft are powered, experts have come up with a frightening hypothesis—involving the use of psychokinetic levitation.To get to the truth, Indy must search through a labyrinth of archaeological information reaching back four thousand years. But as he and his team move from Africa to Tibet to the American Southwest, they discover something even more astounding. A clandestine organization is fast becoming an evil, world-dominating power—and the only way to stop it is in a high-tech, no-holds-barred battle on land . . . and in the air!

The after-story part is the most interesting here, as Caidin, author of Cyborg (The Six Million Dollar Man) is apparently an expert aviator, stunt pilot, and whatever. He has also written a lot of non fiction on the subject. There is some here, detailing early jet engines and airships and their accomplishments.
As for the story, Indy doesn't seem quite Indy-like to me.
