此为作者与 1907年花了四个月的时间写得一部军事科幻小说,并于1908年在杂志上连载出版。如同作者其它著名的作品一样,此书也因其先知般的想法,图像,和观念,即使用太空飞船用于战事以及即将来临的一次世界大战。小说的英雄是一个“思想超前的年轻人”,他也是一个“自行车工程师”。

The War in the Air, a military science fiction novel by H. G. Wells, written in four months in 1907 and serialised and published in 1908 in The Pall Mall Magazine, is like many of Wells's works notable for its prophetic ideas, images, and concepts—in this case, the use of the aircraft for the purpose of warfare and the coming of World War I. The novel's hero is Bert Smallways, a "forward-thinking young man" and a "kind of bicycle engineer of the let's-'ave-a-look-at-it and enamel-chipping variety.
