Ace Carroway and the Great War — Guy Worthey

When the Great War breaks out, Cecilia Carroway lies about her age and enlists as a pilot. She earns her Ace nickname, but she's shot down behind enemy lines and imprisoned. She meets five motley fellow prisoners Quack, Bert, Sam, Tombstone, and Gooper. Escape is hard enough, but Ace won't go without sabotaging the enemy's war machine. Add in Minister of Technology Darko Dor's plan to kidnap Ace, and Ace Carroway's chances of survival drop to zero.

So. About average.

Cliffhangers. Airships. 1920s retro. Fistfights. Female protagonist kicking bottom. Quirky multinational sidekicks. Clipped sentences. Outrageous accents. Dogfights. Daring escapes. Pole vaulting.

Ace Carroway and the Great War is the first in the Ace Carroway adventure novella series.
