seemed
in those
wintry
days of
1916,
when
England
faced
her
doom,
that
Richard
Courtney
became a
man of
destiny,
chosen
for some
subtle
reason
to live
even
when he
flung
his
challenge
into the
face of
death...

was Navy
Day at

The sky
was
dotted
with
balloons,
blimps
and
planes
without
number.
At
intervals,
high
over the
spectators,
the
silver
nose of
the
Pensacola,
the
mammoth
dirigible,
could be
observed
as it
rode
through
the
clouds
much as
a giant
mammal
ploughing
through
the
waters.
here is
the
background
of a
story
filled
with the
raw
spirit
of
adventure,
indomitable
courage
and a
thrilling
flight
to
Antarctica...

"Speed"
Powell,
in his
flivver
the
"Shooting
Star,"
terrorized
the
sober
citizenry
of
Temple,
Washington,
who
prophesied
a bad
end for
him.
He had
but one
champion,
the girl
next
door,
who
adored
him.
Powell
however
directed
all his
attentions
toward
Sylvia
Lewis.
When the
war came
Powell
found
his way
into the
Air
Service.
The
qualities
that had
brought
him into
disrepute
at home,
now
served
to make
him a
brilliant
pilot;
his
flare
for
speed,
his bent
for
mechanics,
his
nerve
and
daring.
He was
sent
overseas
as a
member
of the
First
Pursuit
Group.
His
flying
mate at
the
front
was
David
Armstrong.
Theirs
was a
friendship
begun at
ground
school
and
triple-sealed
by a
series
of
desperate
adventures
in the
air.
