Summary

"The Zeppelin Destroyer: Being Some Chapters of Secret History" by William Le Queux is a story set in the early days of World War I, following Claude Munro, a young pilot and inventor, immersed in secret experiments striving to neutralize the menace of German Zeppelins; as the narrative unfolds, it paints a picture of daring aviators, cutting-edge technology, and clandestine operations, all underscored by the shadow of the Great War, and also explores their relationships and struggles of the characters, as they face danger and betrayals while trying to protect their nation.

About the Author

William Tufnell Le Queux was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat, a traveller, a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter becoming a bestseller.
