Summary | "Our Pilots in the Air" by Captain William B. Perry is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically around the time of World War I. The narrative follows a group of aviators in the Bombing Squadron as they engage in perilous night raids over enemy lines in Eastern France. The central characters, Blaine and Erwin, demonstrate camaraderie and bravery amidst the chaos of war, showcasing their skills as pilots during intense aerial battles. At the start of the book, the scene is set in a military aerodrome, highlighting the camaraderie and banter among the young aviators as they prepare for a bombing mission. The narrative quickly shifts to a night raid, where Blaine pilots a Bleriot with Erwin as his observer. During the mission, they successfully bomb enemy positions and face intense anti-aircraft fire. As the story unfolds, tensions rise when Erwin is injured, leading to a desperate struggle for survival against both enemy aircraft and the elements, illustrating the harsh realities of air combat. The opening chapters vividly capture the excitement and dangers faced by the airmen, setting the stage for their adventures throughout the war. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
