Writing in 1913, Herbert Strang predicted that the fate of empires would be decided in the air, and here he imagines how. On the North-West Frontier of British India a vast hostile army gathers beyond a bridge, and young aviators must scout, signal and fight from their fragile machines. Its imperial outlook is very much of its time.
A fascinating pre-war glimpse of how air power was imagined, for fans of vintage boys’ adventure. Download the free EPUB.
