Summary "Air Service Boys in the Big Battle; Or, Silencing the Big Guns" by Charles Amory Beach is an adventurous boys' fiction war novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story follows young American aviators Tom Raymond and Jack Parmly, who are members of the Lafayette Escadrille during World War I. As they grapple with both their recent decorations and news of their compatriots, the plot dives into their camaraderie, bravery, and the challenges they face against enemy forces while preparing to join the United States Army's air squadron. At the start of the book, Tom and Jack are basking in the glory of their achievements, marked by a medal and their new ranks as sergeants. Their happiness is overshadowed by worry for their missing friend, Harry Leroy, who has fallen behind enemy lines during a reconnaissance mission. As they deal with the uncertainty of war and their eagerness to fight for their country, they encounter Nellie Leroy, Harry's sister, who brings personal stakes to their mission. The opening chapter sets the stage for the emotional and thrilling challenges ahead, as they contemplate their next moves, wrestle with the fallout of war, and strive for both revenge against the enemy and hope for the safe return of their friend.
