About

At a time of intense European military rivalry, the book highlighted differences in the way countries were adopting new aerial technology.

Hearne makes the assumption that conflict with Germany at some point is inevitable, and identifies the airship as 'practically an invisible enemy'. Reviews commended the book for its depth and numerous illustrations, but also suggested it was alarmist and anti-German. However, it brought the subject to wider attention, and was a factor behind the government's decision to invest properly in aviation research.

The first chapter covers 'flying machines' but the bulk of the book is about dirigibles and airships.

Illustrated throughout with monochrome plates and images.
