Bad guys in giant dirigibles wanting to take over cities - and Indy has some help, especially an expert pilot.

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.

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!
