The Red Baron's Sky

By C.A. Powell

THE RED BARON'S SKY

Air Mechanic First Class Maloney was far too enthusiastic for his own good.

On the ground, he was invaluable - a gifted mechanic working tirelessly on the squadron's battered F2B biplanes. In his spare moments, Maloney absorbed everything he could: Morse code transmission, clock-code navigation, aerial photography. Skills prized in the air... but never sought by him.

Because Maloney had no desire to fly.

He was content with oil-stained hands, solid ground beneath his boots, and the quiet satisfaction of keeping others aloft. But war has little patience for preference. When the squadron suddenly finds itself desperately short of flight observers, the decision is made for him. The powers that be see potential. Maloney sees only a fate he cannot escape.

Ordered into the cockpit as an acting observer, Maloney is thrust into a world of open skies, enemy fire, and split-second decisions - a world where knowledge may mean survival, and hesitation can be fatal.

On the day he turns twenty, Maloney will take to the air.

It will be a birthday he will never forget.
