| Summary | "The Boy Aviators with the Air Raiders: A Story of the Great World War" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a historical fiction novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story focuses on a group of young aviators, particularly two brothers named Frank and Harry, as well as their friend Pudge, who navigate the challenges and dangers of World War I aviation while trying to protect their innovative seaplane from enemy forces. At the start of the narrative, the boys are in Dunkirk, preparing for an important flight that could demonstrate their seaplane's capabilities to the French government. The opening sets up a tense atmosphere as the boys discuss potential German spies lurking nearby, suggesting that danger is imminent. Each character is well-established, with Frank emerging as the determined leader, Pudge as the comic relief and good-natured friend, and Billy providing a practical perspective; they discover evidence of espionage when suspicious wax is found on their padlock. As the boys ready themselves to safeguard their plane and conduct their test flight, they become acutely aware that they are playing a significant role in the larger conflict of the war, hinting at both adventure and peril that awaits them.
