Release date is 2024-04-26 Roger Frank and Sue Clark "Nerve Enough" by Richard Howells Watkins is a thrilling short story set in the early 20th century that showcases the daring exploits of early aviation. The narrative focuses on the T. M. O. Transportation Co., formed by three ambitious pilots—Jim Tyler, Burt Minster, and Delevan O’Connell—who aspire to rise in the burgeoning industry of aerial passenger transport. The story revolves around themes of courage, camaraderie, and the high stakes of stunting and stunt-flying amid the risks associated with this nascent form of travel. In the story, the partners face a series of unfortunate events that lead them from a respectable aerial transportation business to becoming struggling "gipsy fliers." As they attempt to revive their fortunes at a local fair, they concoct a risky plan to jump simultaneously from their plane with parachutes in a race to the ground, testing their nerve and resolve. When an accident occurs, Del finds himself precariously dangling from the plane, prompting Burt to jump after him. The tale culminates in a tense moment where camaraderie triumphs over adversity, as the duo manages a successful parachute landing, reigniting their hopes for a brighter future and newfound success in their aviation venture.
