Bert Smallways had always been fascinated by anything that moved. Bicycles were his latest fad - but that was before he discovered the thrilling possibilities of hot air balloons. Or rather they discovered him. Accidentally whisked away to Germany in one such contraption, he finds himself in possession of plans for a top-secret aeroplane. This is turn catapulted him into the very heart of Prince Karl Albert's airship raid on New York - a step that caused the nations to take up arms and fight; a step that was to result in world war. Written in 1907, The War in the Air was conceived before the days of the flying machine and seven years prior to the outbreak of The First World War. AUTHBIO: Known as the 'Father of Science Fiction', H G Wells was responsible for an entirely new genre of writing. It was his bold, daring and hugely innovative books that first introduced readers to the concepts of time travel, invisibility, genetic experimentation and interstellar invasion - ideas that have gone on to inspire future generations and given rise to the entire science fiction industry. Disturbingly accurate in his prophetic writing, H G Wells was also the author of a number of key sociological and historical works.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
