Tom Swift and the Electronic Hydrolung

I read this because I hadn't read much Tom Swift and I was doing some archiving work on the Tom Swift Yahoo group. The super-science in the book got a little tiresome. Tom would invent entire new industries, break for lunch and then violate a few laws of physics before heading off to a square dance.
I thought it was funny that he had flying submarines, but still used a slide rule and camera film.
I know these are second generation books and I'll try reading some of the originals for comparison.
