By Airship to Ophir, written by Fenton Ash, tells the story of an airship and two aircraft that meander round central Africa picking up an assortment of natives in a search for the fabled land of Ophir.
Fenton Ash is the first and main pseudonym of UK civil engineer and author Francis Henry Atkins (1847-1927). He was involved in a scandal at the turn of the century and sentenced to nine months imprisonment for obtaining money by deception. After leaving prison he dropped the name Frank Aubrey and – in his early 60s, following a three-year hiatus – began writing as Fenton Ash.
