Little did Alan, Ned and Buck suspect what they were getting 
themselves in for when they approached the editor of The Herald 
with their plan to re-employ the Ocean Flyer, flying it back across 
the Atlantic Ocean to rescue their friend and the newspaper’s 
reporter, Bob Russell, from the clutches of the German military, 
who had taken him prisoner, accused him of spying, and, 
possibly, might condemn him to face a firing squad in the early 
days of “The Great War” in Europe during 1914. All they knew was 
they had to do something to help Bob and, hopefully, Mr. Latimer, 
managing editor of The Herald, would help. (Summary by Tom 
Hirsch)
