| Summary | "The Flight of the Silver Ship: Around the World Aboard a Giant Dirigible" by Hugh McAlister is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around David Ellison, a determined young man whose dreams of becoming an aviator are interrupted when he decides to leave prep school to support his family after his father's death in the Air Corps. Despite his sacrifices, David's passion for dirigibles drives him to seize an unexpected opportunity to join the crew of a giant airship, the Moonbeam, as an assistant pilot. The opening portion of the novel introduces us to David as he grapples with his decision to abandon college plans in favor of earning a living to help his family. His heartfelt farewell to his friends reveals his character as selfless and hardworking. As David receives news about the dirigible school, his excitement builds, and he resolves to pursue his aspiration of flying despite the obstacles he faces. The narrative sets the stage for David's journey toward a life-changing adventure aboard the Moonbeam, hinting at themes of friendship, ambition, and the excitement of exploration as the story unfolds toward its maiden voyage around the world.
