| Summary | "Billy Barcroft, R.N.A.S.: A Story of the Great War" by Percy F. Westerman is a historical novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers on a young flight-sub-lieutenant named Billy Barcroft, who serves in the Royal Naval Air Service during World War I. The narrative dives into the battles in the air and sea, capturing the thrilling exploits and dangers faced by airmen of the time. At the start of the story, we are introduced to the backdrop of the North Sea, where Billy and his fellow aviators conduct operations against German forces. Tension builds as they await the return of one of their planes after a bombing raid. Billy's audacity draws attention as he joyridingly targets German officers in motor convoys. As events unfold, a raid by a German aircraft prompts a swift response from the British airmen, setting off an intense aerial duel. This gripping opening showcases not only the heroes' camaraderie and courage but also introduces the immediate stakes of warfare faced by those involved.
