| Summary | "The Boy Aviators in Record Flight; Or, The Rival Aeroplane" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a young adult adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two young aviators, Frank and Harry Chester, who, along with their friend Billy Barnes, take on a formidable challenge: a cross-country flight from New York to San Francisco for a $50,000 prize. In addition to the thrill of aviation, the narrative explores themes of rivalry, clever problem-solving, and the adventures of youth. The opening of the tale introduces Billy Barnes, a reporter for the New York "Planet", who is tasked with covering a major aviation event. After discussing the competitive landscape with his editor, he learns that their rival newspaper, the "Despatch", is also entering the fray with an identical prize for the same flight, which adds tension and urgency to the plot. The discussion leads to Billy's desire to involve the Chester brothers in the competition, but they are initially hesitant. As the story progresses, readers witness the development of friendships and rivalries, the planning for a record-setting flight, and the mounting excitement as the characters prepare for their daring undertaking. The stage is set for thrilling aerial adventures and unexpected challenges as they embark on their journey. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
