Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention Development and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons

Abbot explores the origins and evolution of both aircraft and submarines tracing the technical developments that led to their use in warfare. The book provides insight into the early pioneers of flight such as the Wright brothers and describes the initial designs and experiments with aircraft leading to their use in military contexts. Similarly it covers the development of submarines from early concepts to their deployment by navies around the world.A significant portion of the book focuses on their roles in World War I where these technologies had a profound impact on naval and aerial warfare. Abbot discusses their tactical applications the innovations brought by war and how these machines influenced the strategies and outcomes of key battles.This work is both a technical history and a reflection on how these modern weapons reshaped warfare making it a valuable resource for those interested in the early 20th century's technological advancements in military contexts.
