The High Call is a novel published in 1917, written by Ernest Milmore Stires. The story revolves around the protagonist, John Wainwright, who is a young man with a passion for flying. He enlists in the army during World War I and becomes a fighter pilot. John is a skilled pilot and quickly rises through the ranks, but he is also haunted by the memory of his brother, who died in a plane crash.As John becomes more involved in the war effort, he begins to question the morality of the conflict and the motives of those in power. He starts to feel that the war is not worth the sacrifice of so many lives, and he struggles to reconcile his duty to his country with his own conscience.Throughout the novel, John faces numerous challenges, both personal and professional. He must navigate the dangerous world of aerial combat while also grappling with his own doubts and fears. Along the way, he meets a number of interesting characters, including other pilots, military leaders, and civilians affected by the war.Ultimately, The High Call is a gripping tale of courage, sacrifice, and the struggle to do what is right in the face of overwhelming adversity. It offers a vivid and compelling portrait of life during World War I and explores the complex emotions and motivations of those who fought in the conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
