War in the Air was written in 1907, and it began to appear as a serial story in the Pall Mall Magazine in January 1908. This was before the days of the flying machine; Bleriot did not cross the Channel until July 1909; and the Zeppelin airship was still in its infancy. The reader will find it amusing now to compare the guesses and notions of the author with the achieved realities of today.","brand":"Country House Library","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55674443596155,"sku":"10521539","price":8.81,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2458\/8207\/files\/orig_489478_jpg.jpg?v=1754998890","url":"https:\/\/countryhouselibrary.co.uk\/products\/the-war-in-the-air-by-h-g-wells-heron-1968","provider":"Country House Library ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
