Summary: "The Finding of Haldgren" by Charles Willard Diffin is a science fiction novelette written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Chet Bullard, a passionate master pilot who defies authority to embark on a daring quest to find another pilot, Haldgren, who vanished after becoming the first man to navigate space. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration of adventure and the human spirit in the face of the unknown. The opening of the novelette introduces a pivotal ceremonial event in the year 1974, where Bullard and his fellow pilot, Walter Harkness, are being celebrated for their historic achievement of flying through space. However, Bullard refuses to accept the accolades, insisting that they are not the true pioneers; that honor belongs to the missing Haldgren. As he makes a passionate case for Haldgren's survival, he captures the attention of the audience, revealing a mysterious SOS signal from the Moon that ignites his determination to set out on a quest for Haldgren. The tension between Bullard and authority is palpable as he makes a bold decision to pursue a spacecraft, ultimately leading the narrative into an interstellar adventure filled with danger and intrigue.
