520 _a"Then Luck Came In" by Andrew A. Caffrey is a wartime aviation-themed narrative written in the late 1920s. The story centers on a sergeant in the Army Air Service who, despite his deep desire and ambition to fly, is continually sidelined by circumstances and decisions beyond his control. Through the sergeant's experiences, the book explores themes of perseverance, longing, and the often-tragic realities faced by those who serve in the military. The tale follows the sergeant as he navigates a challenging career in military aviation, where he is recognized more for his mechanical skill than his flying abilities. Despite his passion for flying, he ends up training cadets and performing maintenance work while watching others fulfill his dream of becoming a pilot. His hopes are reignited when he gets the chance to fly, only to have it snatched away by a fellow cadet. The climax of the story comes with a tragic twist, revealing the harsh consequences of wartime aviation, as the sergeant learns of the fatal crash of the instructor and the cadet who had taken his place in the cockpit. The narrative poignantly captures the sergeant's struggle against his unfulfilled ambitions and the bittersweet reality of his military service. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
