520			_a"His to Fly" by Richard Howells Watkins is a short story published in the late 1920s, where the characters navigate the challenges of early aviation. The narrative revolves around two pilots, Beak Becket and Jerry Tabor, as they grapple with their complicated partnership while flying a biplane. Central to the story is the theme of ambition and the tension between experience and inexperience in pursuit of flight. The plot unfolds as Jerry and Beak prepare for a flight, highlighting their contentious relationship. Beak, a seasoned pilot, often belittles Jerry, who is eager to prove himself. Tensions rise during their journey, particularly when the realities of aerial navigation become perilous amid fog and dwindling fuel. As the story climaxes with a malfunction and impending disaster, Jerry's decisive moment comes when he must choose between saving himself by jumping with a parachute or taking control of the plane that he partly owns. In a courageous act of determination, Jerry takes over the cockpit, demonstrating growth and asserting his newfound identity as a pilot, ultimately leading to their precarious landing.
