aeroplanes will fall victims to gun-fire, but that this percentage will be a very smallone, and that it will be in no way sufficient to marthe success of the work that a squadron of air-scoutswill be able to undertake. The suggestion is now made that, in order tosecure some conclusive results, power-driver aero-planes, without occupants, should be made to ascend,and be directed on a pre-arranged course, whilesubjected to artillery-fire. Such a method wouldbe costly, however; but it might certainly yieldremarkably interesting data. Then there is the question of hostilities betweenaircraft, to which several references have been made.Here, again, theory has to take the place of practice.It is perfectly certain that, as machines cross fromtheir own lines to those of the enemy, engagementswill take place between them and hostile craft—which will seek to check them in their aerialspying. That special fighting machines will be built ispractically certain, also; and it is probable that, in

V rf Ui THE AEROPLANE IN WAR 241 wars of the future, engagements between these aerialopponents will precede reconnoitring work. Howsuch flights in the air will end it is, however, difficultto predict. If some form of light explosive shell ishred, one well-placed shot will probably wreck amachine, or render it unmanageable. An aerial duelpromises to be over quickly. The skill will, nodoubt, lie in getting in the first shot, and in makingthat an accurate one. Although, in some respects, the future is ob-scure, there is, upon one important point, mostdefinite data to proceed upon. This is that theaeroplane is an instrument which will entirely changemilitary reconnaissance. We are in the presence of a new and formidablescience that will revolutionise warfare. So spokeColonel Seely, Parhamentary Under-Secretary ofState for War, at a special gathering of the Aero-nautical Society on i8th December, 1911. At the moment, all other problems are subservientto this: whatever its destructive power
The automobile was first invented and perfected in Germany and France in the late 1890s. Americans quickly came to dominate the automotive industry after WWI. Throughout this initial era, the development of automotive technology was rapid. Hundreds of small manufacturers competing to gain the world's attention. Key developments included the electric ignition system, independent suspension, and four-wheel brakes. Transmissions and throttle controls were widely adopted and safety glass also made its debut. Henry Ford perfected mass-production techniques, and Ford, General Motors, and Chrysler emerged as the “Big Three” auto companies by the 1920s. Car manufacturers received enormous orders from the military during World War II, and afterward automobile production in the United States, Europe, and Japan soared.
