Hello all..

I've been looking for a book for ages.. But cannot find it.. I read it a long time ago in the local public library..

It was simly called "anthology" at the time I thought this was the name but I know its not..

It was a collection of 3 books that were prob written between 1925 and 1935 near as I can remember..

The first story had an "inventor" main char with a friend side kick.. their first adventure was finding out who was robbing zepplins in transit.. using an invisible aircraft... they eventually got him and he joined their team..

another story was with the same characters and dealt with an invasion of earth by aliens.. the main thing was their spaceships windows were made from "concentrated sunlight" and they use these from some crashed ships to defend the earth from a giant spaceship that was reentering by flying into the earths orbatal rotation thereby bypassing reentry heat problems...

and the last story had the same char building a space ship and going visiting... one part i remember was I think one set of aliens had Iron bones...

if anyone has any idea of the writer or name of the books please post the answer as I've been wanting to reread these for 20 years of more....
