Sure you do not mix this up with something else? How could they had visions of submarines 100 years ago that looked more modern than the most modern science subs we have today? I mean this book was science fiction for 1970s kids. But I do not remember the story anymore. |
Macron remains unhappy apparently.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Sw...Electric_Rifle I'm pretty sure "Victor Appleton" and "Victor Appleton Jr." were pen names shared by several authors. Tom Swift was one of the original novel franchises aimed at youths. I found a really old hard cover of Tom and his amazing battle tank (AKA: Doing His Bit For Uncle Sam) from 1912 or so. :up: I'm fairly sure that Tom got ripped off and became Jonney Quest in the 1960's. :03: Needless to say, if you can find any of the hard cover books from the 1950's and earlier, hang on to them! Here's a better explanation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swift |

Always a pleasure! :haha: I do not remember the story in that book, just have a vague idea that it described pretty modern technology and design and story. So I assume that the claimed author and character was indeed, as you indicated, "stolen". What I liked in it also were the black-and-white ink-drawn illustrations, depicting very modern submarine design shrunk to toy size and with plexi-glass bows. :) That was soooo coooool! |
Going back to Tom and his electric rifle...

How long did they say would it have taken the French to deliver their boats before the Aussies sent them home telling them they were behind time table? :DI think it was not THAT long, wasn't it? Eile mit Weile... Its just that China will not have that much patience, most likely. |
