| Summary |
"The Boy Allies in the Balkan Campaign; Or, the Struggle to Save a Nation" by Clair W. Hayes is a fictional novel written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Hal Paine and Chester Crawford, two American boys turned adventurers who find themselves caught up in the tumultuous Balkan Campaign during World War I. Their journey unfolds through a series of daring escapades as they strive to support the Serbian and Montenegrin forces against the Austrians. The opening of the book introduces the characters as they embark on a flight in a military aeroplane, where Hal is piloting the aircraft, accompanied by his friends Chester and Colonel Anderson, alongside the comically terrified war correspondent, Anthony Stubbs. As they soar high over Austria, their airship encounters an Austrian aircraft, leading to a tense exchange. The narrative unfolds with banter between the friends, revealing their camaraderie and lighthearted spirit, even in the face of danger. They face enemy threats and navigate through perilous situations, setting the stage for the unfolding adventure as they make their way toward the Balkans, determined to aid those in need.
