| Summary |
"The Boy Scouts of the Flying Squadron" by Robert Shaler is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the spirited exploits of Bud Morgan, a budding inventor, and his friend Hugh Hardin, both members of the Wolf Patrol, as they embark on a camping trip filled with mystery and excitement. Their adventure begins shortly after Thanksgiving, and it's filled with their attempts to test Bud’s latest invention while encountering unexpected happenings in the wilderness. At the start of the narrative, Bud and Hugh are hiking through snowy terrain, determined to reach their campsite in the woods. Discussing their ambitions and physical exhaustion from carrying heavy loads, they express excitement about experimenting with Bud’s innovative aeroplane invention. Upon arriving at their intended location, they discover another scout, Ralph Kenyon, cooking quail in the shanty they hoped to use. As they settle in, a sudden explosion shakes their temporary home, sparking their curiosity about mysterious figures lurking nearby and the secretive activities of the military in the area. The opening portion sets the stage for both camaraderie and intrigue, promising an adventure that intertwines youthful curiosity with elements of danger as the boys seek to uncover the dramatic secrets surrounding them.
