About This Book

Two young aviators undertake wartime dispatch and reconnaissance flights across contested territory, confronting hazardous weather, active battlefronts, and the confusion of unfamiliar cities. Their missions combine high-altitude observation and perilous courier runs with encounters involving covert signaling and shadowy operatives, which draw them into an espionage plot and a persistent enemy pursuit. Scenes alternate between aerial action over gunpowder-strewn fronts and treacherous journeys across frozen steppes, testing their flying skill, resourcefulness, and bonds of friendship.
