The Submarine in War and Peace, It's Developments and Possibilities - Paperback

by Simon Lake (Author)

(With Illustrations) Some twenty years ago the author began to collect data with the idea of publishing a book on the submarine at a future time. There was very little information concerning submarines available at that date, as the early experiments in this field of navigation were generally conducted in secrecy. There had been constructed, up to that time, no submarine vessel which was entirely successful, and for this reason inventors and designers were disinclined to reveal the features of the vessels upon which they were experimenting. This book was printed in 1918 and may contain some typos.
