Summary "The Brighton Boys in Transatlantic Flight" by Lieutenant James R. Driscoll is a historical adventure novel likely written in the early 20th century. The story centers around four young aviators, led by the physically imposing Jack Carew, as they prepare for a groundbreaking Transatlantic flight. Amidst preparations and rival crews, they face unexpected tension from a fellow pilot, Henryson, and must work together to navigate various challenges while unveiling a plot that threatens their mission. The opening of the book introduces readers to Jack Carew and his crew as they spontaneously engage in playful banter while awaiting their fateful flight in cold Halifax. The camaraderie among the crew members—Big Jack, navigator Donald Harlan, wireless operator Fred Bentner, and alternate pilot Andy Flures—is established through humorous exchanges and shared aspirations for the historic flight. The atmosphere soon shifts as they encounter hostility from Henryson and discover a mysterious figure lurking around their hangar, hinting at impending treachery, while their excitement is intermingled with the challenge of the uncertain weather and a secret mission that lies ahead. This sets the stage for an engaging tale of friendship, bravery, and adventure in the face of adversity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
