"Salute" by Thomson Burtis is a novel written during the early 20th century, likely around the 1920s. The narrative follows the lives of the flyers in the Army Air Service, specifically highlighting the experiences of Lieutenant Percival Enoch O’Reilly and his complicated relationship with Lieutenant Ralph Kennedy. The story delves into themes of camaraderie, ethical dilemmas, and the complexities of human nature as it reflects on the darker side of motivation and personal redemption. The plot centers on Enoch O'Reilly, who grapples with the arrival of Ralph Kennedy, a man from his past tied to criminal activities and potential blackmail. As O'Reilly tries to navigate his mixed feelings about Kennedy while being drawn into his chaotic life, their interconnected stories unfold against the backdrop of the military's air service operations. Tensions rise as Kennedy’s charm threatens to complicate matters with O'Reilly's friendship with Shirley Curran, and a series of events ultimately lead to a climactic moment during a perilous flight that tests the bonds of loyalty and bravery. Burtis crafts a multifaceted narrative that examines redemption, sacrifice, and the unpredictable nature of human relationships, culminating in a dramatic conclusion that encapsulates both tragedy and heroism.
