| 520 | _a"Medium Boiled" by Thomson Burtis is a thrilling aviation adventure published in the late 1920s. This novel follows First Lieutenant John "Shag" Moran as he becomes part of the Border Air Patrol in South Texas, where he encounters the challenges of flying a De Haviland bomber while navigating interpersonal conflicts and the dangerous world of smuggling along the U.S.-Mexico border. The story revolves around Moran's journey from a nervous newcomer to a competent pilot amidst a high-pressure environment filled with rivalry and the haunting awareness of mortality that accompanies the perilous work of border patrol flying. After a rocky start involving embarrassing landings and tension with his fellow pilots, particularly the cocky Dumpy Scarth, Moran faces a life-threatening situation while attempting a difficult flight during a storm. The climax arises as he saves Scarth from drowning after an accident, leading to a personal reckoning and ultimately securing his place within the squadron, earning the respect of his peers. The narrative intricately weaves themes of courage, rivalry, and friendship within the exhilarating backdrop of early aviation and border patrol duties.
