Don't think of the Tom Slade series as just another boys' adventure series. It's far more than that, and it's astonishing that it was ever allowed to go out of print.
The first three books in the series cover Tom's adventures as a boy scout, then WWI intervenes and, too young to join the armed forces, he joins the crew of a transport ship. Later, he gets into the war, is eventually shell-shocked, has a rocky recovery, and goes on to have more adventures.
Stubborn, inarticulate, and often misunderstood, Tom is an unusual hero. He always stands up for what he believes in, even in the face of universal opposition.
