520 _a"Burton of the Flying Corps" by Herbert Strang is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Ted Burton, a young airman, who is involved in espionage and theft during wartime, particularly regarding a powerful new explosive being developed by his friend, Dr. Bertram Micklewright. As the plot unfolds, Burton navigates the dangers of enemy agents and attempts to secure the secrets of the explosive to protect it from falling into foreign hands. The opening of the narrative introduces Ted Burton as he prepares to embark on a trip to retrieve picric acid, a material necessary for his friend Micklewright’s experiments in high explosives. The uneasiness of his surroundings becomes apparent when he observes suspicious activity related to motorcyclists, which sets the stage for a gripping tale. After making the flight, Burton discovers an alarming situation at Micklewright’s laboratory—his friend has been attacked, leaving Burton with a sense of urgency to uncover the fate of his friend and secure the explosive formula from the clutches of foreign adversaries. This suspenseful initiation not only sets up the conflict but also immerses the reader in British air warfare and intelligence during the first World War.
