"Tom Swift and His Aerial Warship; Or, The Naval Terror of the Seas" by Victor Appleton is a novel written in 1915. When Tom Swift invites a Navy lieutenant to review his massive military airship, he dismisses warnings of a plot against him. But deliberate sabotage—a fire in his explosives shed—proves someone wants to stop his innovations. As World War I rages in Europe, foreign spies hijack Tom's revolutionary aerial warship, equipped with specially-mounted cannons and a groundbreaking recoil system. Can Tom recover his stolen invention before it falls into enemy hands? (This is an automatically generated summary.)
