I could do the easy hunt at eBay, but garage sale scavenging is much more
fun :-)

The first "Nancy Drew" author was a GA pilot.


Jackpot!
Was wandering in a great dusty old bookstore today near the U of
Minnesota and I found, not one of the Hardy Boys, but a book titled
"The Boy Aviators in Record Flight, or the Rival Aeroplane," copyright
1910 by one "Captain Wilbur Lawton."

A front page lists half a dozen titles including "The Boy Aviators in
Secret Service, or Working with Wireless." I paid about 7 bucks for
this, in fine condition -- the joys of book-hunting.

Best of all, a link suggests you can read a couple from this series
online (O yea, I have that many hours MORE to spend on my butt in front
of a computer), or download them via something called Project Gutenberg.
Probably so old the copyright's expired, I'd guess...
