## Adventure, March 1916 This complete novel by Henry M. Neely concerns an aviator named Ward Fenton who is recruited by the Navy to aid in locating a sunken submarine, the G-8. Flying a biplane flying-boat, Fenton and his companion Philip Conway search from the air along the Atlantic coast, exploiting aircraft's capacity to spot submerged vessels from altitude. The narrative opens with the tragic sinking during naval maneuvers and extends to a search operation. According to the contents description, the plot also involves "a mysterious wreck," a "clever, desperate plot," and centers on a capable woman who can pilot aeroplanes and ride horses. The story emphasizes both the technical aspects of early aviation and the human drama surrounding the characters' efforts, combining technological interest with adventure and romance elements typical of period pulp fiction.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
