The Argonauts of the Air & 15 Short Stories - Paperback

by H. G. Wells (Author)

THE ARGONAUTS OF THE AIR For several years, Monson has used his wealth on a project to build a flying machine. The apparatus for launching it, "a massive alley of interlacing iron and timber", has become a notable landmark for people passing through Worcester Park in south-west London, and sometimes they see a machine rush along the rails of the apparatus, as the latest version of the flying machine is tested. Monson's money is running out, and he is impatient with the time taken to put the latest modifications into effect. 1. THE OBLITERATED MAN 2. THE CONE 3. THE ARGONAUTS OF THE AIR 4. THE BULLA 5.
