(Thomas Cantrell) The Flying Boat: A Story of Adventure and Misadventure Produced by Al Haines "The Flying Boat: A Story of Adventure and Misadventure" by Herbert Strang is a novel written in the early 20th century. This adventure story centers around the life of Pierce Errington, a young Englishman who navigates challenges both at school and later in China, surrounding his relationships with his friends and the mysterious Mr. Ting, a Chinaman from his father’s past. The story hints at themes of friendship, adventure, and cultural interplay during a time of significant historical transformation. At the start of the book, readers are introduced to Cheltonia School, where sports activities are underway and the main characters, Errington, Burroughs, and the imposing Hattersley-Carr, are preparing for the high jump. The unexpected arrival of Mr. Ting, a small Chinese man who is an old acquaintance of Errington’s family, creates a stir among the boys. As Errington navigates the dynamics at school, he faces the tension between social status and cultural differences exemplified by Mr. Ting's presence. The opening also hints at Errington's internal struggles and playful camaraderie, foreshadowing the adventures and misadventures that lie ahead in both their personal and broader contexts as they transition from English schoolboy life to the complexities of adulthood in China.
