"My Escape from Donington Hall, Preceded by an Account of the Siege of Kiao-Chow" by Kapitänleutnant Gunther Plüschow is a historical account, likely written in the early 20th century. The book recounts the author’s experiences in the German Air Service, particularly detailing his adventures during the siege of Kiao-Chow in 1914. Plüschow's narrative is expected to explore both his military escapades and his personal journey, highlighting themes of duty, bravery, and survival amid wartime challenges. The opening of the book introduces readers to Plüschow’s early passion for aviation and his eventual assignment to the Naval Flying Corps at Kiao-Chow. Reflecting on a journey that began in 1913, the author describes his initial excitement as he finally receives confirmation of his appointment. He then details his training as a pilot, sharing both the triumphs and trials he faced in mastering flight. The narrative sets the stage for the forthcoming tension of war as his experiences transition from personal achievement in aviation to the broader context of military conflict, leading to the eventual siege and the challenges he will face in Kiao-Chow.
