Reading was a popular past-time and magazines of the twenties are full of short stories. Although radio’s were increasing in popularity they were still expensive and so reading was a common activity.
Books sold in large numbers and successful authors could make a lot of money. Consequently many people aspired to become authors. Their path to fame started by getting stories or poems published in the many magazines or newspapers of the day.
The short story we have chosen to publish on our web-site is entitled “Valor” and was written by Arthur T. Munyan. It is a love story with an aviation theme.
