First edition of H.G. Wells' The War in the Air
First American edition of Well's prophetic science fiction classic. Octavo, original publishers cloth, illustrated by Eric Pape. In very good condition. Small ownership stamp.
Like many of Wells's works, The War in the Air remains notable for its prophetic ideas, images, and concepts—particularly the use of aircraft for the purpose of warfare—as well as conceptualizing and anticipating events related to World War I. "An extraordinary concoction—as if H.G. had shaken up Kipps and The War of the Worlds and poured out a new story that would appeal both to those who liked his social comedies and those who had been impressed by his early fantasies of terror" (Mackenzie, H.G. Wells: A Biography).
