An enjoyable quick read. Frank and Joe are investigating the disappearance of a plane piloted by one of their friend's dad. Lots of flying action in this mystery, as well as danger and military secrets which kept me invested in the case.
From my Grade 6 reading log:
"The Hypersonic Secret is a really exciting book. It's about Jamal Hawkins' dad disappearing in a plane crash. The Hawkins Air Service chartered Ian Fairbanks to Ottawa. The plane crashed in the Adirondacks, and the people aboard weren't heard from. Jamal asked Frank and Joe Hardy to solve the case. They come against many obstacles, such as sabotage. In one part, they're flying a Cessna airplane. Ice forms on the propeller, and the carb-heat will not work. They crash in the Atlantic Ocean and are rescued by the Coast Guard. Who is trying to kill Jamal, his dad, Frank and Joe? I can't tell you, because that would spoil the story!"
What I find hilarious about this story is that I come across aircraft-related show more documents in my work... this was secretly preparing me for my future. show less

Bröderna Hardy befinner sig på flygplatsen i Bayport, där kompisen Jamals pappa har en flygtaxi-firma. Plötsligt inträffar något egendomligt. Ett plan försvinner, oförklarligt och spårlöst, under en helt vanlig flygtur.
Ombord finns Jamals pappa och en av hans viktigaste kunder, den kände miljonären Ian Fairbanks.
När bröderna börjar undersöka mysteriet märker de snart att någon med alla medel försöker hindra dem. Men vem? Vem ligger bakom försvinnandet? Det handlar inte bara om pengar - utan också om det amerikanska flygvapnets bäst bevarade hemlighet!

Franklin W. Dixon Franklin W. Dixon is actually a pseudonym for any number of ghostwriters who have had the distinction of writing stories for the Hardy Boys series. The series was originally created by Edward Stratmeyer in 1926, the same mastermind of the Nancy Drew detective series, Tom Swift, the Rover Boys and other characters. While show more Stratmeyer created the outlines for the original series, it was Canadian writer Leslie McFarlane who breathed life to the stories and created the persona Franklin W. Dixon. McFarlane wrote for the series for over twenty years and is credited with success of the early collection of stories. As the series became more popular, it was pared down, the format changed and new ghostwriters added their own flavor to the stories. Part of the draw of the Hardy Boys is that as the authors changed, so to did the times and the story lines. While there is no one true author of the series, each ghostwriter can be given credit for enhancing the life of this series and never unveiling that there really is no Franklin W. Dixon.
