Bess Moyer was an author of children's literature active during the early 20th century. She is primarily recognized for her contribution to juvenile mystery fiction through her series Girl Flyers, which was published by the Goldsmith publishing company of Chicago in 1932. Moyer's work captured the contemporary interest in aviation and adventure, tailoring these themes for a young audience.\n\nThe Girl Flyers series consists of two volumes: Gypsies of the Air and Girl Flyers on Adventure Island. The narrative formula of Moyer's books revolves around twin sisters who have been raised on an airstrip owned by their father. Because of their upbringing, the sisters are highly skilled not only in piloting aircraft but also in performing mechanical maintenance on them. This unconventional background routinely positions the protagonists in the midst of intriguing mysteries, which they must use their unique skills and intellect to solve.
