Description: "The War in the Air" by H.G. WELLS. 1908 1st American edition, 1st printing (with "Published October, 1908" stated on the copyright page); The Macmillan Company; New York. The book features 20 full-page illustrations by Eric Pape. From a review: "In 'The War in the Air,' the astonishingly prophetic vision of H.G. Wells reveals how one invention can change the world. Before the World Wars, Wells predicted that airplanes would be used for bombing, that urban areas would become especially vulnerable to aerial attacks, that dogfights and stealth attacks by air fleets would become a normal part of warfare, and that distance and the expanse of oceans no longer would be guarantors of safety for America or other countries. Visionary in its time and chillingly relevant a century late, 'The War in the Air' continues to remind us that humankind's greatest evil lies in devices of its own making."
