The Ted Scott Flying Stories was a series of juvenile aviation adventures created by the Stratemeyer Syndicate using the pseudonym of Franklin W. Dixon (also used for The Hardy Boys) and published almost exclusively by Grosset & Dunlap.
The principal author was John W. Duffield, who also contributed to the Don Sturdy and Bomba the Jungle Boy series.
As "Richard H. Stone" he also launched a second Stratemeyer aviation series, the Slim Tyler Air stories (1930–1932).
Duffield was a conscientious student of aeronautical technology, and long passages in the Ted Scott books can be traced to such sources as Aviation, the New York Times, Aero Digest, and Science.
For several years the Ted Scott adventures outsold The Hardy Boys mystery series, which also began in 1927.
