Summary "The Airship 'Golden Hind'" by Percy F. Westerman is a thrilling adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around two ex-Royal Air Force officers, Kenneth Kenyon and Peter Bramsdean, who find themselves called back to the skies by their former commanding officer, Sir Reginald Fosterdyke. The plot unfolds as they prepare for a daring mission to circumnavigate the globe within twenty days, competing for a substantial prize while navigating obstacles both in the air and on the ground. At the start of the narrative, Kenyon and Bramsdean receive a telegram from Sir Reginald, hinting at a significant venture. They quickly transition from their civilian lives back into the world of aviation, driven by their shared passion for flying. Upon arriving at the baronet's estate, they learn of his plan to pilot the experimental airship "Golden Hind" around the world—a monumental task with inherent dangers. As preparations for the journey begin, a sense of urgency unfolds when they realize they are racing against rival competitors, including a German count who may not be playing fair. The opening sets an exciting tone for an explorative adventure filled with themes of courage, camaraderie, and competition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
