| Summary | "Air Service Boys Flying for France" by Charles Amory Beach is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story revolves around young aviators Tom Raymond and Jack Parmly as they embark on an adventure to France to join the fight against the Germans. Armed with dreams of glory and patriotism, the boys navigate both the dangers of aviation and the espionage threatening their mission. The opening of the story introduces Tom and Jack as they train at an aviation school in Virginia. Tom is about to take his first solo flight, culminating his hard work and passion for flying. Their dialogue reveals their camaraderie, as Jack expresses his worry for Tom's safety. Soon, the narrative shifts focus to Tom's troubled heart, revealing a significant concern regarding the theft of his father's aviation designs by a German spy, Adolph Tuessig. This incident serves to intensify Tom's motivation to support the war effort, setting the stage for their imminent journey across the Atlantic, where they will encounter both triumph and peril in the skies.
