520 _a"Flying down a rainbow" by Homer King Gordon is a short story published in the late 1920s, known for its adventure and themes centered around the gold rush prospecting era. The narrative revolves around the hopeful yet struggling pilot Jimmy Devlin, who is determined to make a name for himself in the competitive world of aeronautics, while also delving into the timeless lure of gold mining and the eccentric characters that embody the spirit of this quest. The story follows Jimmy Devlin, who, despite his financial constraints, manages to restore an old biplane called the "Calico Peacock." After a challenging start, he unexpectedly meets an elderly prospector, Ed Weber, who enlists his help to reach a newly discovered gold location in Keno, Nevada. Their journey is fraught with mechanical failures and risky decisions, culminating in a crash landing. However, amid the crisis, they discover a rich deposit of gold ore, uncovering the twist of fate that ultimately leads them to unexpected fortune, making them realize that serendipity often plays a pivotal role in the pursuit of dreams.
