(This book has never before been printed with these illustrations, photographs or narrations)This is the story of the invention, development and uses of the airplane, dirigible and submarines in World War One, what many were calling those infernal machines and their fearless crews. With color plates and hundreds of illustrations, it takes you into the first submarines, airplanes and the dirigibles, those infernal machines. I read Willis Abbot's book Aircraft and Submarines (1918) believing it would be a history of the airplane and submarine development. As good a description as it was, the further I read the more disappointed it became to me. It did not explain the grass roots of how these machines were developed. In all of my previous books I like specific construction criteria from prototype to new modern examples. I found Mr. Abbot's work to be lacking in specifics to really keep my interest. So I strived to improve it with these additions.
