Billie Campbell was Just the type of a straightforward, athletic girl to be successful as a practical Motor Maid.

GIRL AVIATORS SERIESBy MARGARET BURNHAMCloth. Illustrated. 50c. Each
The Girl Aviators and the Phantom Airship
Roy Prescott was fortunate in having a sister so clever and devoted to him and his interests that they would share work and play with mutual pleasure and to mutual advantage. This proved especially true in relation to the manufacture and manipulation of their aeroplane, and Peggy won well deserved fame for her skill and good sense as an aviator. There were many stumbling-blocks in their terrestrial path, but they soared above them all to ultimate success.
The Girl Aviators on Golden Wings
That there is a peculiar fascination about aviation that wins and holds girls enthusiasts as well as boys is proved by this tale. On golden wings the girl aviators rose for many an exciting flight, and met strange and unexpected experiences.
The Girl Aviators' Sky Cruise
To most girls a coaching or yachting trip is an adventure. How much more perilous an adventure a "sky cruise" might be is suggested by the title and proved by the story itself.
The Girl Aviators' Motor Butterfly
The delicacy of flight suggested by the word "butterfly," the mechanical power implied by "motor," the ability to control assured in the title "aviator," all combined with the personality and enthusiasm of girls themselves, make this story one for any girl or other reader "to go crazy over."
Aviation is not confined to the sterner sex as has been shown by the flights made by Harriet Quimby and other daring young women. Girls who are fond of adventure will thoroughly enjoy reading these books, which are wholesome and free from sensationalism.
Price, postpaid, 50 cents per copy or the four books for $1.75.
