Related to material in The Angel of the Revolution
by George Griffith

In this mostly forgotten novel of the late nineteenth century, the Terror, a socialist and anarchist alliance, makes use of advanced flying ships like war-ballons and airships to make mincemeat of the existing world powers. This book contains many striking passages about the horrific nature of mechanized warfare decades before World War I.
