| 520 | _a"Aircraft and Submarines" by Willis J. Abbot is a historical account written during the early 20th century. The book explores the invention, development, and contemporary applications of aircraft and submarines, particularly highlighting their roles in warfare during World War I. It delves into the evolution of these technologies, discussing pivotal figures in aviation history like the Wright brothers and pioneering inventors in submarine technology, while speculating on future uses beyond military applications. The opening of the book sets the stage with a dramatic recounting of the Battle of Mons, where British troops were saved from encirclement due to aerial reconnaissance. It establishes the significance of air power as a transformative element in modern warfare. Abbot emphasizes the revolutionary nature of aircraft, which altered conventional military strategies, and contrasts this with the submarine's impact on naval warfare. The author reflects on humanity's long-standing fascination with flying and underwater navigation, presenting an engaging narrative that intertwines historical accounts with personal experiences of those who advanced these technologies.
