| 520 | _a"Clipped Wings" by Percy F. Westerman is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Peter Corbold, a young acting sub-lieutenant in the Royal Navy, who faces the disheartening reality of impending retirement due to reductions in personnel following a post-World War period. As he navigates his uncertain future and seeks a new path, Peter's journey takes him to the Republic of Rioguay, where he becomes embroiled in the complexities of international tensions and military developments that could threaten his homeland. The opening of the book introduces us to Peter Corbold aboard H.M.S. "Baffin" as it approaches Portsmouth after a commission at sea. We learn of the camaraderie among naval officers and the somber prospects that lie ahead for those like Peter who are forced to leave the service. Soon after, Peter is provided with an unexpected opportunity to travel to Rioguay, where he reconnects with his eccentric uncle, Brian Strong, who is involved in mysterious aviation work. Peter quickly finds himself amidst a geopolitical landscape shaped by anti-British sentiments and technological ambitions, leading to an adventure filled with intrigue, danger, and the fight to defend his nation.
