"The Boy Aviators on Secret Service; Or, Working with Wireless" by Captain Wilbur Lawton is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows two young protagonists, brothers Frank and Harry Chester, who are recognized as skilled aviators after their daring exploits in Nicaragua. They are soon enlisted by the Secretary of the Navy to undertake a perilous mission involving a powerful explosive that has been stolen, leading them into the treacherous wilderness of the Everglades. At the start of the narrative, the boys are summoned to the Secretary's office, where they learn of the disappearance of a Navy lieutenant and the theft of a formula for a new explosive. The Secretary entrusts them with the task of investigating the potential manufacturing of this explosive in the Everglades, and despite initial doubts, they eagerly accept the commission. They begin preparations to build a new aircraft, the "Golden Eagle II", while also facing the lurking threats from adversaries who are keen to thwart their mission. Along the way, the story sets up friendships, danger, and adventure, drawing the reader into a world of young ambition and exploration. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
