"The Boy Aviators' Treasure Quest; Or, The Golden Galleon" by John Henry Goldfrap is a fiction work likely written in the early 20th century. This adventure story revolves around two young brothers, Frank and Harry Chester, who are skilled aviators eager to compete for a prestigious aviation trophy. As they prepare for the contest, they become embroiled in a mysterious treasure hunt linked to a legendary sunken galleon in the Sargasso Sea, which adds an exciting layer to their aerial exploits. The opening of the narrative sets the stage at an aviation field where the Chester brothers have just completed an impressive flight that draws enthusiastic applause from a crowd. As their preparations for the Hempstead Plains Cup unfold, they are introduced to various competitors and encounter intrigue surrounding a mysterious rival aircraft known as The Buzzard. An intriguing twist comes when a young reporter, Billy Barnes, shares a bizarre tale about a shipwrecked galleon rumored to be floating in the Sargasso Sea, which leads the boys to consider pursuing a treasure expedition after the race. From the start, the book captures the excitement of aviation and adventure, laying the groundwork for both competition and the pursuit of hidden treasure.
