Pursuit by Andrew A. Caffrey is a gripping aviation war story set in the skies of World War I, where fragile biplanes and courageous pilots faced death on every mission.
Jack Langdon, a reckless pursuit pilot reassigned to slow and lumbering DH two-seaters, refuses to surrender his fighter tactics. Alongside skilled gunners like Akeley and Samter, Langdon bends the rules and pushes his aircraft to the limit, striking daring blows against enemy balloons and aircraft. But his boldness sparks conflict with Lieutenant Charles Surry Mudd, a meticulous leader whose cautious style clashes with Langdon’s reckless daring.
When a desperate mission over the Meuse River puts them both in mortal danger, loyalty, rivalry, and courage collide in a breathtaking act of comradeship that changes everything. With its blend of authentic aviation detail, tense dogfights, and deep moral complexity, Pursuit is a powerful tribute to the ingenuity and sacrifice of WWI airmen.
Narrated with grit and urgency by Tony J. Martin, this story will immerse listeners in the thunder of engines, the chatter of machine guns, and the fragile courage of men at war in the sky.
