Summary "Norman Prince: A Volunteer Who Died for the Cause He Loved" by Babbitt is a biography written in the early 20th century that chronicles the life and valiant service of Norman Prince, an American aviator who dedicated himself to the French cause during World War I. The book presents a compelling narrative of Prince's journey from his early life in Massachusetts through his education and into the realm of aviation, culminating in his heroic sacrifices on the battlefield. This biography captures the spirit of a young man whose love for France and commitment to liberty drove him to serve as a pilot in the war effort, a topic that resonates with ideals of bravery and patriotism. The narrative unfolds through various sections that include memoirs, personal letters, and tributes from comrades, offering an intimate portrait of Prince’s experiences as a pioneering aviator. Following his arrival in France, he quickly trained in military aviation and became a key member of the Lafayette Flying Squadron, where he was known for his courage and skill in aerial combat. The biography details his numerous missions, the trials of war, and ultimately his tragic death in an aviation accident, showcasing not only his personal achievements and the respect he earned but also the deep affection and admiration he inspired in those around him. The work memorializes Prince's life as one of dedication, underscoring the broader narrative of American volunteers who fought alongside the Allies before the United States entered the war.
