Summary "The Brighton Boys with the Flying Corps" by Lieutenant James R. Driscoll is a novel written during the early 20th century, likely set around the time of World War I. The story follows a group of teenage boys from the Brighton Academy who are swept up in the excitement and urgency of the war effort as they aspire to become part of the aviation branch of the military, particularly as the world recognizes the importance of air power in warfare. At the start of the book, the protagonist Jimmy Hill is introduced along with his friends from the Academy, all of whom are eager to serve their country. As the news of an airdrome being established nearby spreads, the boys become increasingly interested in aviation and begin to prepare for their future roles as aviators. The opening chapters set the stage by highlighting their friendships, the influence of their families on their decisions, and their collective ambition to make a difference in the war. Throughout these initial pages, readers witness the boys’ growing understanding of aircraft, their admiration for the young pilots, and their determination to grasp as much knowledge as possible in anticipation of joining the Flying Corps, hinting at the adventures and challenges that await them.
