The story

Robert Street, a celebrated but mild-mannered author, is approached by his publisher Brooks and press agent Brown with a bold publicity stunt: to lend his name to a new book of wartime aviation exploits written by an unknown flyer, thus ensuring greater sales. Though Street has no love for aviation and hasn't even read the manuscript, he reluctantly agrees. The book becomes a sensation, and Street is soon the toast of the town—wined, dined, and hounded for tales of daring aerial exploits he never actually performed.
