| Summary | "Ben Hardy’s Flying Machine; or, Making a Record for Himself" by Frank V. Webster is a novel written in the early 20th century. It follows the story of a young boy named Ben Hardy, who aspires to make significant contributions in the realm of aviation. As he navigates various challenges, including saving his father’s workplace from disaster and learning about airships, Ben’s adventures intertwine themes of ingenuity, friendship, and the pursuit of dreams. The opening of the story introduces readers to a high-stakes incident at the Saxton Automobile Works, where Ben proves his quick thinking and bravery by averting a potential disaster caused by a malfunctioning engine. This establishes his character as resourceful and capable, earning him admiration from his father and the factory workers. As the plot unfolds, Ben is propelled into a world of engineering and aeronautics, embarking on a journey that promises both personal growth and thrilling experiences in the burgeoning field of aviation. Through his interactions and budding relationships, particularly with figures like Mr. Davis, Ben is motivated to build an airship, hinting at further adventures in the skies ahead.
