| Summary | "Marston and Me" by Thomas Burtis is a novel likely written in the early 20th century, specifically during the 1920s. This book offers a fictionalized account revolving around the adventures of pilot Slim Evans as he navigates life in the American Air Service, tackling themes of camaraderie, rivalry, and personal growth against the backdrop of early aviation. The story follows Slim Evans, who, after months of monotony as a border patrolman, finds himself ordered to participate in bombing tests on German battleships. As he prepares for this critical mission, he reunites with Sergeant George William Marston, an officer from his troubled past. Their relationship is tense, filled with unresolved animosity. However, when sabotage threatens their mission, Marston proves to be an unexpected ally, risking his life to save Slim during a harrowing incident involving a mid-air attack. As the narrative unfolds, themes of redemption emerge with the two men navigating their complex history, ultimately leading to a begrudging respect between them as they face challenges together in the high stakes of military aviation.
