About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Airship Boys in the Great War by De Lysle Ferree Cass. Read in English by Tom Hirsch. Little did Alan, Ned and Buck suspect what they were getting themselves in for when they approached the editor of The Herald with their plan to re-employ the Ocean Flyer, flying it back across the Atlantic Ocean to rescue their friend and the newspaper’s reporter, Bob Russell, from the clutches of the German military, who had taken him prisoner, accused him of spying, and, possibly, might condemn him to face a firing squad in the early days of “The Great War” in Europe during 1914. All they knew was they had to do something to help Bob and, hopefully, Mr. Latimer, managing editor of The Herald, would help. (Summary by Tom Hirsch)
