Description

In The Dreadnought Boys on Aero Service by John Henry Goldfrap, Ned Strong and Herc Taylor leave traditional naval duties to join an experimental aero squad. Aboard the Manhattan, they pursue aviation amid skepticism and rivalry from foes like Merritt and Chance. As training intensifies, the boys face danger, competition, and the challenges of early flight, proving courage and skill in a new frontier.

Author

John Henry Goldfrap (1879–1917) was an English-born journalist who became one of the most prolific storytellers of America's early twentieth-century boys' book boom. His serial adventures captured a generation's hunger for courage, gadgetry, and the open road — wireless operators at sea, cadets aboard dreadnoughts, scouts on the range, motor rangers crossing the Sierras.
