Summary "The Flying Machine Boys on Duty; Or, The Clue Above the Clouds" by Frank Walton is a fictional adventure novel written in the early 20th century. It follows a group of young aviators, specifically James Stuart, Ben Whitcomb, and Carl Nichols, as they embark on a mission to track down two notorious criminals after a bank heist and murder. With excitement in the air, the boys utilize their flying machines to traverse the dangers they face against both human adversaries and the challenges of flight. At the start of the story, we meet a young aviator flying over New York Bay who encounters a bothersome pursuer in another aircraft. After a defensive duel of skill in the skies, he returns to a hangar where he meets up with his friends. They are soon drawn into a conversation about a commission from the police to find the criminals behind a bank robbery and murder, believed to have fled to a mountainous region on the Pacific coast. As they prepare for their journey, hints are dropped of underlying threats from the criminals' associates, foreshadowing tension and adventure in their quest. The beginning sets up a gripping narrative filled with aerial pursuit, danger, and the camaraderie of youth united against crime. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
