Experimental giant airship aeroplane for four traveling from England to Germany during the war. Can fly all night at 150m/h go into the stratosphere and stay motionless while it dropped bombs. (Fastest plane at the time was 135m/h) Also features almost silent machine guns. Story is mainly a war romance. The interesting thing about this story is that as it hasn’t been long since aeroplanes were invented. This story predicts the naming of parts of them by using ‘prow’ for the front of the airplane taking that from boats. This might be a precursor to later space opera stories where space ships are using boat terminology rather than plane terminology.
