| Summary | "The Flying Legion" by George Allan England is a novel published in the early 20th century, specifically in 1920. The story focuses on a band of adventurous and disenchanted veterans who, seeking to escape the drudgery of everyday life after the war, come together under a passionate leader to embark on an extraordinary expedition. Their journey is marked by a desire for action and purpose, hinting at themes of camaraderie and exploration against a mysterious and perilous backdrop. The opening of the story introduces us to the Master of "Niss'rosh", an eagle's nest-like room at the top of a skyscraper, who is characterized by restlessness and ennui after the chaotic years of war. As he contemplates his life, a conversation with his servant Rrisa reveals his longing for adventure and hints at an impending expedition. Shortly after, he calls upon Major Bohannan, and the idea of creating a "foreign legion" of battle-hardened men takes shape. This gathering will lead to a secretive mission fraught with danger, intrigue, and the potential for both glory and peril, as the Master aims to venture beyond familiar territories, possibly into the heart of Arabia.
