| Summary | "The Dreadnought Boys on Aero Service" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a novel written in the early 20th century. This installment continues the adventures of two young sailors, Ned Strong and Hercules Taylor, as they transition into the exciting but perilous world of naval aviation. The story centers on their involvement in new experimental aero services, giving readers a glimpse into their camaraderie and the challenges they face from both external foes and rivals within the naval ranks. At the start of the book, excitement buzzes among the crew of the Dreadnought "Manhattan" as a notice for an experimental Aero squad draws the attention of both eager young sailors and skeptical veterans. Ned and Herc, driven by ambition and a thirst for adventure, decide to apply for the aerial positions, setting the stage for their next trials. Meanwhile, they contend with antagonistic figures from their past, notably Merritt and Chance, who harbor resentment towards them, hinting at underlying rivalries that may complicate their aeronautic endeavors. The opening chapters deftly blend action, character development, and a budding intrigue as the boys prepare for their latest daring exploits in the skies.
