520			_a"The Bird Boys: Or, the Young Sky Pilots' First Air Voyage" by John Luther Langworthy is a children's adventure novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two young cousins, Andy Bird and Frank Bird, who share a passion for aviation and are working diligently on building their first monoplane. The book explores themes of friendship, competition, and the thrill of discovery as the boys navigate their challenges, including rivalry with a pair of competitors and the excitement of their anticipated air journey. The opening portion of the narrative sets the stage with Andy lamenting the loss of a specially invented aluminum wrench essential for their aircraft. Various boys from their group engage in light-hearted banter as they try to piece together what happened to the wrench, leading to humorous conjectures about its fate. Amidst this, we learn about the boys' backgrounds—Frank's protective upbringing from his father, who is also a doctor, and Andy's aspirations influenced by his father's legacy as an aviator. The plot swiftly transitions to their earnest discussions about the completion of their monoplane, generating anticipation for the trials ahead while foreshadowing potential challenges from their rivals who are also preparing for an aeronautical competition.
