The story revolves around Tex Yancey, known as "The Flying Fool," and his fellow pilots in the American Expeditionary Force during World War I as they grapple with the challenges of being airmen in a foreign land. The narrative sets up an environment filled with camaraderie, competition, humor, and the underlying tension of war, as the squadron awaits their aircraft while forging their identity among diverse backgrounds. The opening of the book introduces Tex Yancey as he makes a late entrance into the mess hall of his squadron, teasing fellow pilots about a new instructor coming to teach them how to fly. The group is restless and frustrated, eager for action but faced with more training instead. Amid their banter, the arrival of Lieutenant McGee is announced, creating a mix of curiosity and skepticism among the squadron members, especially since he bears ties to the British Royal Flying Corps. The dynamics of the squadron’s personalities and tensions are firmly established, setting the stage for McGee’s interaction with the group and the unfolding of the larger narrative themes of service, identity, and the harsh realities of war.
