Summary "Dave Dawson on Guadalcanal" by Robert Sidney Bowen is a war-adventure novel written in the early 1940s. The story follows the main character, Captain Dave Dawson, an American pilot, as he embarks on a mission during World War II in the Pacific theater with his English friend, Freddy Farmer. The narrative centers around their various aerial encounters and the broader military operations involving American forces against Japanese adversaries. At the start of the narrative, Dave Dawson and Freddy Farmer are aboard a Flying Fortress, engaged in a seemingly routine transport flight over the Indian Ocean while they enjoy some light banter. However, the atmosphere changes dramatically when they are informed of canceled orders and redirected to report to headquarters in Sydney due to potential Japanese threats in the region. Soon after their arrival at the new base, they are briefed about a critical mission to locate and counter a significant Japanese military force reportedly advancing toward Allied positions. As they take off in a new aircraft, the action escalates with an encounter against a Japanese flying boat, showcasing the high-stakes nature of their operations and the constant tension of wartime engagements.
