"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.
