Talk:Reader's Digest Condensed Books

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello,

I'm looking for a specific story that was in a Reader's Digest Condensed books. I've been looking for this for many years with no luck. The problem is that it was a spanish traslation and it's proven to be even more difficult to find. I believe the title was something like "Flight (# some number) in Danger" or something like that that was the title in spanish so it could've changed. It's about a Vietnam fighter plane pilot that fakes his own death and hides the plane (vertical landing plane)he was flying in an island. Later he comes back in a yatch with fake mannequins pretending to be rich civilians and goes back to the island were he hid the plane. He brings the plane back to California. This guy had a huge plan to rob some gold from different banks in California using the stolen plane to threaten a US Senator in commercial flight, forcing authorities to call the banks to let his thief friends take gold bars from several California banks. His thief friends are all dressed in Santa Claus customes and they finally steal the gold and take it to a specific airport and pack a water-landing-airplane with gold. When they let the pilot(guy with the plan) know they got the gold and he fakes a nosedive with the plane and dissapears into no-radar zone and meets his friends. They later take the gold-filled water-plane to the Sn Francisco coast and sink it. Ten years later or so they come back to the spot where they sunk the plane and they claim the gold they had sunk in the plane.......This is a long story I know but that's what I remember. I would love you very much if you help me find this story.

Thank you so much...

[edit] Anthologies

What about the Condensed Anthologies? I swear Monica Baldwin's "I Leap over the Wall" was in one of these. As was Orwell's 1984. Wellesradio 20:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)Wellesradio
