| Summary |
"De aeroplaan van m'nheer Vliegenthert" by Kees Valkenstein is a work of fiction, likely written in the early 21st century. The story is set in the year 2010 and follows the adventures of a fifteen-year-old boy named Jan Drie who accidentally steals the sophisticated monoplan of his neighbor, m’nheer Vliegenthert. This lighthearted tale weaves together elements of science fiction and comedy, exploring the world of aviation and the technological advancements unique to that era. At the start of the story, Jan Drie is enjoying his summer vacation and reflects on the advancements in air travel by 2010, where people primarily travel via aeroplanes instead of traditional trains or buses. He is fascinated by m'nheer Vliegenthert's monoplan, which he has seen left unattended on the roof. After a series of humorous thoughts and reflections about flying and the changes in society, Jan takes the bold step of piloting the monoplan for an adventurous flight. As he navigates through the skies, he soon finds himself in a predicament when he realizes he has no compass and must rely on the stars to guide him home, leading to comedic escapades and thrilling encounters in the air.
