520			_a"The Flying Chance" by Gordon McCreagh is an adventure story likely written in the early 20th century. The book follows the life of Ensign Jack Rankin, an aviator who faces the harsh realities of military aviation and his own ambitions amid the backdrop of naval warfare. With themes of duty, bravery, and personal sacrifice, the narrative captures the spirit of a young man's determination to serve his country despite the setbacks he faces. The story opens with Rankin learning of his disqualification for aviation due to eyesight issues, which triggers his passionate response and ultimately leads him to disobey orders out of desperation. His journey takes a dramatic turn when he discovers that a United States destroyer is in danger of being attacked by submarines. With the help of a fellow aviator, Jim, Rankin commandeers a flying-boat in a daring rescue mission. The heart of the narrative revolves around Rankin's resourcefulness and bravery as he attempts to reach "his ship" in a race against time, culminating in a thrilling climax where he faces both physical and moral challenges. Despite his earlier disappointment, he proves himself as a capable aviator and earns the respect of his command, all while navigating his personal relationships with his love interest, Eileen.
