| 520 | _a"The Lucky Little Stiff" by H. P. S. Greene is a light-hearted novel written in the late 1920s, following the tumultuous experiences of American aviators during World War I. The story captures the struggles, camaraderie, and misadventures of training pilots at an aviation field in France, where both the absurdities and dangers of military life come vividly to life. Through a blend of humor and realism, the book provides a perspective on the challenges faced by young men in the midst of a global conflict. The narrative centers around Lieutenant Tommy Lang and his two friends, "Long John" and "Fat," as they navigate the chaotic environment of military training and combat readiness. After a series of misunderstandings and humorous escapades, including an infamous night out that leads them to miss their train stop, Tommy finds himself in a precarious situation while on guard duty. His mishap ultimately uncovers an espionage plot within the ranks, transforming his perceived incompetence into a heroic act. Through this blend of mischief and fate, the novel explores themes of luck, friendship, and the absurdity of war, culminating in Tommy's unexpected recognition and transfer to a frontline observation squadron where he is hilariously dubbed the "lucky little stiff."
