The Air Patrol: A Story of the North-west Frontier
Produced by Al Haines
"The Air Patrol: A Story of the North-west Frontier" by Herbert Strang is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of Northern India, particularly exploring themes of adventure, military strategy, and the nascent use of aircraft in warfare. Central to the plot are the young Appleton brothers, Robert and Lawrence, who venture into the rugged mountains to join their adventurous uncle in his mining endeavors, ultimately becoming embroiled in the geopolitical intrigues and dangers of borderlands. At the start of the story, the Appleton brothers are traveling with Major Endicott, a political officer tasked with negotiating peace with a troublesome tribe. As they navigate the treacherous mountain terrain, they come across armed hill-men laying in ambush, which sets the stage for the unfolding action and tension. The narrative hints at the complexity of the region’s politics and the dynamics between the British, local tribes, and the looming threat of Russian expansion. The brothers’ journey not only involves physical challenges but also deepens their understanding of bravery and the complexities of leadership as they adapt to their dangerous surroundings.
