| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | "Luck on the Wing: Thirteen Stories of a Sky Spy" by Elmer Haslett is a collection of autobiographical short stories written in the early 20th century, likely in the aftermath of World War I. The narratives detail the experiences of Haslett as an aerial observer in the U.S. Air Service during the war, highlighting both the risks and the unexpected accomplishments faced by those serving in this often overlooked role. Central to these stories is Haslett himself, who navigates through challenges, fear of flying, and the camaraderie of his fellow soldiers, all while attempting to fulfill his duties over enemy lines. The opening of the collection introduces Major Elmer Haslett’s initial motivations for becoming an aerial observer despite his fear of flying. He recounts his journey from an infantry officer to accepting the challenge of observation, driven by a longing for action at the front lines of France. As he prepares for his first mission, Haslett describes the nervous anticipation leading to his flight, including humorous and chilling moments as he navigates communication barriers with his French counterparts. The narrative poignantly captures his internal struggle between bravery and trepidation, as well as the camaraderie and chaotic reality of air combat, setting the stage for a series of compelling adventures that explore the life of an aerial observer during the war.
