"Lost in the Air" by Roy J. Snell is a novel crafted in the early 20th century, specifically in the 1920s. The narrative centers around two recently discharged army aviators, Bruce Manning and Barney Menter, who embark on an adventurous journey in Northern Canada. Their lives take a thrilling turn when they learn about a mysterious Major with an airplane, as they delve into a quest beyond mere exploration, hinting at underlying secrets and conflicts. The opening of the story introduces Bruce and Barney as they work in the wilds near Hudson Bay after their transition from military service. Their curiosity piqued by the arrival of a Major and his airplane, they contemplate the implications of the aircraft and its potential for exploration. Amidst their banter, they encounter an old man sharing a tragic tale of a boy, Timmie, who disappeared in the wilderness years ago with a significant sum of money. This connection to Timmie's story sparks their desire for adventure, hinting that their journey may lead them to uncover deeper mysteries and danger beyond their safe construction site. As they interact with the Major and contemplate joining him on an expedition, the narrative sets the stage for a gripping adventure filled with suspense, combat, and the allure of the uncharted northern wilderness.
