The War in the Air [SEP] Reception
One biographer has called "The War in the Air" "an extraordinary concoction—as if H.G. had shaken up "Kipps" and "The War of the Worlds" and poured out a new story that would appeal both to those who liked his social comedies and those who had been impressed by his early fantasies of terror." Beatrice Webb annoyed Wells by preferring "The War in the Air" to "Tono-Bungay", which Wells regarded as his masterpiece.
