| Summary | "Wings of the Wind" by Credo Fitch Harris is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around Jack Bronx, a young man who has recently returned from war and is struggling to reintegrate into civilian life while feeling disillusioned about the normalcy around him. His journey leads him into adventure and romance as he sets sail on a yacht with his friend Tommy and a mysterious professor named Monsieur Dragot, searching for deeper meaning and intriguing encounters. The opening of the novel introduces Jack Bronx on New Year's Eve as he nervously returns home after serving in the war. His family, especially his mother and father, welcome him back with affection, but Jack himself is haunted by the traumatic experiences he's undergone. He initially dismisses the idea of seeking adventure, believing that such notions have faded with the war. However, after an orchestrated family plan sends him off on a cruise aboard the yacht "Whim", he finds himself embracing the potential for romance and excitement. The narrative hints at a larger adventure unfolding, establishing the backdrop of the turbulent post-war world that Jack, Tommy, and Dragot are set to explore.
