Summary in English- Two Stories About Flying Part-II
BLACK AEROPLANE
The writer of this story is a pilot. One night he was flying his old
Dakota aeroplane over France. It was a starry night. He was
going to England. He hoped to spend his holiday with his
family. It was an easy journey and he was in a joyful mood. He
looked at his watch. It was one thirty in the morning. Through
his wireless, he contacted the Paris control. They told him to
turn twelve degrees west. He did as he was advised to do. He
was 150 kilometres from Paris.
Suddenly the writer saw huge black clouds before him. It was
not possible to fly up and over the clouds. He had not much fuel
with him. So it was not possible to fly around the big mountains
of clouds to the right or left. He decided to take the risk and flew
his aeroplane straight into the Clouds. As he entered the clouds,
everything suddenly went black. He found that his compass had
ceased to work. He tried to contact the Paris Control for
directions. But he was shocked to find that his radio had also
stopped working.
Suddenly, the writer saw a black aeroplane near him. He could
also see the pilot in it. The pilot waved the writer to follow him.
He followed the black aeroplane like an obedient child. Now it
was half an hour since the writer had been following the black
aeroplane. He was worried because the fuel in his plane could
last only five or ten minutes. But just then the black aeroplane
started to go down and the writer followed it. Suddenly, the
writer was out of the clouds. He could see the lights of the
runway of the airport. He turned to look at the black aeroplane.
