Description
“War in the Air” is a British science-fiction novel written by Herbert Wells in 1907. A story created at the dawn of aviation describes an aerial war that sweeps the entire world.[/b]
Like many other Wells works, this novel is remarkable for its prophetic ideas, images, and concepts—particularly the use of airplanes for military purposes, as well as reflection on and prediction of events related to World War I. The hero and main character is Bert Smallways, characterized as a “progressive young man” and “a kind of engineer-bicycle maker who loves to look at everything and pick at enamel.”
