"Medium Boiled" by Thomson Burtis is an exciting tale of early aviation where First Lieutenant John "Shag" Moran joins the Border Air Patrol in South Texas and learns what it takes to be a pilot. The story throws Moran into a world filled with risky flights in a De Haviland bomber, tricky relationships with other pilots, and the constant threat of smugglers along the U.S.-Mexico border. Initially, Moran struggles, facing embarrassing errors and a bitter rivalry with Dumpy Scarth, but when a dangerous storm puts him in a position to rescue Scarth from a near-fatal accident, Moran proves his bravery. Through this act of heroism, he earns respect from his fellow pilots and finds his place within the squadron, showing how courage and friendship can bloom even in the face of constant danger.
