"Tom Swift in the City of Gold", or, or, Marvelous Adventures Underground, is Volume 11 in the original Tom Swift novel series published by Grosset & Dunlap.

Plot summary

Tom receives a message from his missionary friends, those whom he saved from captivity in Africa during the adventures of the preceding volume. The message describes a wonderful underground city, filled with treasures of gold, somewhere deep in the heart of Mexico. Not one to turn down adventure, Tom soon builds another airship and is off with his friends to find the underground city.

Inventions & Innovation

Tom continues to improve on his airship designs, which are combined bi-plane and dirigibles. This time, a much smaller version of the Blackhawk is designed, with many of the same features.
