To offset this, the dirigible can rise to great heights and therefore remain out of range of enemy aircraft. Mr. Plunkett in his thrilling story has shown us what the menace of a dirigible might be.His story is simply filled with scientific incidents; and he shows in quite a dramatic fashion how in future warfare, waged between either individuals or nations, a new scientific device may suddenly turn the tide of battle.Mr. Plunkett is a new author and he makes his entry into the field of science fiction in a very convincing manner.5600 WordsThis edition includes the illustrations from the stories as well as the covers to the magazines in which they were first published.
