"Dave Dashaway the Young Aviator; Or, In the Clouds for Fame and Fortune" by Roy Rockwood is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows the titular character, Dave Dashaway, a young boy who is passionate about aviation and longs to fly. Faced with the harsh treatment of his guardian, Silas Warner, and longing for a life beyond menial labor, Dave embarks on a journey to achieve his dreams of becoming an aviator. The opening of the book establishes Dave as a determined youth who constructs a model airship in hopes of attracting the attention of a real airship expert. His supportive friend, Ned, encourages his pursuits, but Dave’s situation at home is grim, characterized by an oppressive guardian who seeks to keep him in servitude. After a distressing confrontation with Warner, Dave makes the bold decision to run away from home to follow his dream. This decision is spurred by a series of events involving a real airship and the discovery of a lost wallet, which leads to a budding adventure filled with aspirations of flight and the potential for future encounters with the world of aviation. The stage is set for Dave's quest for fame and fortune among the clouds. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
