| 520 | _a"In the Line of Duty" by H. P. S. Greene is a humorous novella written in the early 20th century, likely during the interwar period. This light-hearted narrative follows the misadventures of a flying lieutenant, Tommy Lang, who goes AWOL amidst the backdrop of military life during World War I. The book provides a satirical look at the challenges and absurdities faced by young officers in the military, specifically within the American Air Service in France. The story begins with Tommy's journey to a dismal flying field in central France, where he struggles to adapt to the Army's rigors and peculiarities. After arriving at the flying field and befriending fellow officers, he is thrust into a series of comical situations, including a misunderstanding with military police and the responsibilities of command far beyond his experience. As he navigates through various mishaps—including an ill-fated trip for a drink and an unexpected promotion—Tommy remains charmingly unversed in the military lifestyle. Ultimately, his experience culminates in an ironic twist when he must confront his superior officer after going AWOL to alleviate his own misery, leading to a resolution that highlights both the absurdity and camaraderie of military life.
