"Air Men o' War" by Boyd Cable is a collection of fictional tales written in the early 20th century. The stories chronicle the experiences of airmen during World War I, detailing their roles in aerial warfare and how they contribute to the larger efforts of the armed forces on the ground. Through the lens of various pilots and their distinctive flights, the narrative provides insight into their bravery, teamwork, and the technical challenges they face. At the start of the book, the author presents a foreword that sets the tone for the subsequent stories, emphasizing the connection between the air services and the ground forces. The opening chapter introduces an aging factory worker who realizes the significance of his work on aircraft for supporting his sons fighting in the infantry. This perspective is intended to highlight the broader impact of aerial operations in saving lives and assisting ground troops. The chapter narrates a harrowing mission involving a pilot flying the "Silver Wings" aircraft on a reconnaissance mission, portraying the trials and dangers faced by those in the sky as they engage with enemy forces and provide crucial support to soldiers on the ground.
