The War In The Air is a science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells. The book was first published in 1908 and is set in the early 20th century. The novel explores the idea of a global war fought entirely in the air, with airplanes and other flying machines. The book follows the adventures of Bert Smallways, a young man who accidentally finds himself caught up in the conflict. As the war rages on, Bert witnesses the destruction and devastation caused by the new technology, while also experiencing the thrill and excitement of flying. The novel is a commentary on the dangers of war and the potential consequences of technological advancements. It also explores themes of imperialism, nationalism, and the role of the individual in society. The War In The Air is considered a classic of science fiction and a seminal work in the genre of air warfare.Bert Smallways was a vulgar little creature, the sort of pert, limited soul that the old civilisation of the early twentieth century produced by the million in every country of the world. He had lived all his life in narrow streets, and between mean houses he could not look over, and in a narrow circle of ideas from which there was no escape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
