This is a test treatment for a new book I'm working on.

I've temporarily shelved 'Working Boats of the Outer Planets' until I have a better handle on the real world science. In the meantime I've started an examination of the political, military, and technological climate that followed the events of 'The War of the Worlds'.

The book itself will be an e-book and done in the style of a children's book written after the fact. For the moment I'll calling 'Spacecraft of the First World War' but this may change.

Don't take this the wrong way, but this reminds me of the "Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines" cartoon. :D

very nice, i can see the HP stying themes in it ! i look forward to seeing more ideas for your book.
at the end of WotW there is that laboratory explosion resulting from investigations of Martian tech, which could have been a lead-in to a WotW2, if Wells had been into sequels rather than waxing polemical. however, he was unable to control the rampant fan-boyism generated by the success of the WotW, an extreme case of which was:

it does not sound like Tesla (whom Wells admired) gets a mention, which is perhaps not surprising if Edison is the conquering hero...

Nice link, thanks for that.

The age has a lot of interesting personalities, but I'll probably be contrarian and have Brunel be the one in the spotlight. It might be interesting to deal with the matter of the disconnect of much of the work being done in secret, but I'm still not sure as to the exact tone of the work.

Wow..I actually had an idea for this once, but I was never good in drawing air viechles back then, but now seeing this makes me want to try again at those old-mix ideas of the WWI.

Amazing job as always ^^
