The War In The Air is a science fiction novel written by H. G. Wells. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the adventures of Bert Smallways, a young man who accidentally finds himself on board a flying machine during a conflict between two nations. The novel explores the impact of aerial warfare on society and the human psyche, as well as the consequences of technological advancement and the dangers of war. The story is fast-paced and action-packed, with vivid descriptions of aerial battles and the destruction they cause. Through Bert's journey, the reader is taken on a thrilling ride through a world in turmoil, where the skies are the new battlefield and the fate of nations hangs in the balance. The War In The Air is a classic work of science fiction that continues to captivate readers with its timeless themes and imaginative storytelling.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.
