# FLYBOYS # Series Bible --- # PREMISE *Flyboys* is a retro-futuristic pulp adventure set in an alternate-history world where 1950s Americana never ended—it simply evolved. Inspired by the optimism of Norman Rockwell, the sleek futurism of *The Jetsons*, the daring adventure of *Flash Gordon* and *Buck Rogers*, the mystery of *Indiana Jones*, and the hot-rod culture of the American rockabilly era, *Flyboys* tells the story of four brothers who unknowingly inherit the greatest secret in human history. What begins as a coming-of-age adventure involving street races, treasure hunts, and brotherly mischief slowly unfolds into a sprawling conspiracy spanning governments, ancient religions, interstellar civilizations, and an approaching war capable of ending worlds. At its heart, however, *Flyboys* is not about aliens. It is about family. --- # CORE THEMES ## Control vs Trust The central moral of *Flyboys* is that the desire to control others—even with the best intentions—ultimately destroys the very people and ideals one hopes to protect. Every major conflict in the story reflects this philosophy. The alien civilization attempts to save humanity by eliminating nuclear weapons before mankind can destroy itself. Instead, they trigger the largest conventional war in history. The United Allies of Noverica create miraculous technology capable of ending poverty, hunger and war, but refuse to relinquish control of the energy that powers it, creating dependency and authoritarian rule.
