Aircraft And Submarines {World War I}

Comparatively few people appreciate how the thought of navigating the air’s dizziest heights and the sea’s gloomiest depths has obsessed the minds of inventors. From the earliest days of history men have grappled with the problem, yet it is only within two hundred years for aircraft and one hundred for submarines that any really intelligent start has been made upon its solution. The men who really gave practical effect to the vague theories which others set up—in aircraft the Wrights, Santos-Dumont, and Count Zeppelin; in submarines Lake and Holland—are either still living, or have died so recently that their memory is still fresh in the minds of all.

Here is another addition to the great list of World War I ebooks!

Aircraft and Submarines is an overview of the advances in technology of both air and sea. Since it was written in 1918,  it covers the advances in warfare technology during The Great War (later known as WWI).

Written in a narrative style, it also includes illustrations in black & white and color paintings.
