This book relates the further adventures of the young Americans in
France, where they viewed the fighting from above the firing lines. From
this book the reader gains considerable knowledge of the different types
of air planes and battle planes used by the warring nations, as all
descriptions are illustrated with unusually clear line drawings.
=The Boy Volunteers with the British Artillery=
How many boys today know anything about the great guns now being used on
so many European battle fronts? Our young friends had the rare
opportunity of witnessing, at first hand, a number of these terrific
duels, and the story which is most fascinatingly told is illustrated
with numerous drawings of the British, French and German field pieces.
=The Boy Volunteers with the Submarine Fleet=
Our young heroes little expected to be favored with so rare an
experience as a trip under the sea in one of the great submarines. In
this book the author accurately describes the submarine in action, and
the many interesting features of this efficient fighting craft are made
clear to the reader by a series of splendid line drawings.
=The Boy Volunteers with the American Infantry=
The entry of the United States into the great conflict offers the two
boys their long-looked-for opportunity. The arrival of our troops abroad
and the boys' experiences with them make a thrilling tale.
