| Summary | "Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War" by Frederick Arthur Ambrose Talbot is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the significant role and evolution of airships and aeroplanes in military operations, specifically emphasizing their contributions during World War I. Talbot aims to illustrate the unexpected effectiveness of these aerial vehicles and the revolutionary impact they had on military strategy and tactics. The opening of the book begins with a preface that highlights the surprise and challenges faced by military strategists regarding the integration of aircraft in warfare. It reflects on the skepticism surrounding their utility and the gradual recognition of their effectiveness, particularly with the advent of the war. In the first chapter, Talbot discusses the origins of military aviation, detailing how early innovators like Count von Zeppelin initially conceptualized these aircraft primarily for military purposes rather than civilian applications. He traces the evolution of military ballooning, emphasizing the British efforts and operational successes of captive balloons during various military campaigns, thus setting the stage for how aerial warfare transformed military operations.
