(Willis John) title: Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons date: None words: 118644 flesch: 69 summary: The submarines and near-submarines built in the United States during the Civil War were remarkable rather for what they actually accomplished than for what they contributed towards the development of submarine boats.
