About

Flying into action, daredevil photojournalist Johnny Brice is always looking for trouble . . . and more often than not, finding it. But he doesn't know what real trouble is until he rescues the beautiful woman he calls Jinx from a sinking ship. Like Bogie and Bacall, they're made for each other-even if they are a dangerous mix. Get the picture? Well, Johnny always does. The problem is, with Jinx now in the picture, all his photo-scoops are going down the drain-losing his film to water, fire or war. And it all comes to a head on assignment in China, when the Japanese shoot his plane down and take Jinx and Johnny prisoner. Their lives at risk, it's time for Johnny to get the real story about the lady. Is she really a jinx . . . or something even more sinister? In an adventure full of surprising discoveries, getting at the truth leads to the most shocking twist of all.L. Ron Hubbard had first-hand experience of flying high with Trouble on His Wings. As a young aviator, he loved to tempt danger. One journalist wrote: "The flaming-haired pilot hit the city like a tornado a few years ago. . . . He just dared the ground to come up and hit him." The knowledge and insight he gained during those flights is clearly evident in his aerial adventure stories.

Reviews

"The prolific Hubbard was a staple in pulp magazines of the 1930s-50s. He churned stories out in every genre-detective, Westerns, adventure, sf-he did it all. His tales were simple: loaded with tough men, beautiful babes, and tons of action. Trouble (1939) finds top reporter/cameraman Johnny Brice's life going to hell after meeting Jinx, a girl who's bad luck from head to foot. VERDICT Hubbar
Publishers Weekly
"Originally published in 1939, a globe-trotting journalist (he shoots film for one of the movie studios' newsreels) gets mixed up with a beautiful woman who brings him bad luck at every turn. When he's with her, his films get ruined, his planes crash or get shot out of the sky, he loses his job, or he gets taken prisoner by the Japanese. And yet, despite all this, love blossoms. This is one
