Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Commander Lawless V.C.: Being the Further Adventures of Frank H. Lawless" by Rolf Bennett is a historical adventure novel written in the early 20th century. This narrative follows Flight-Lieutenant Frank H. Lawless, a recently transferred officer from His Majesty's Navy to the Flying Wing, who grapples with air sickness and a series of mishaps, including the destruction of enemy airships. The story centers around his daring escapades, including a scouting mission that leads him to uncover German sabotage attempts, and his efforts to defend the UK's coast against aerial threats. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Flight-Lieutenant Lawless as he contemplates his unfortunate luck in aviation, especially after struggling with air sickness and damaging aircraft. His frustration heightens when he discovers mysterious luminous marks on the Forth Bridge, a potential indicator of nefarious activity. During a night flight, he witnesses a German Zeppelin attempting an assault, prompting an impromptu airborne battle where he ultimately leaps onto the Zeppelin to prevent catastrophe. As the narrative unfolds, it showcases Lawless’s courageous nature, quick thinking, and determination to thwart enemy plans while establishing the foundation for his further adventures and heroic feats.
