Over the years many weird and wonderful types of transport have
come and gone, some of which succeeded against all odds, others
that spectacularly failed, and some that never got beyond a
designer's drawing board. Railway engines driven by horses, for
example. Or maybe the surprising number of cars, boats and trains
driven by aeroplane propellers. In this book you will find cars
that flew, cars that floated on water and boats that ran on roads;
steam-powered aeroplanes, electric submarines, railways driven by
pneumatic air, aircraft with flapping wings and a whole lot more.
If you are a person who would like to have flown in an airship, or
travelled in a train whose carriage sat on stilts above the sea
with its tracks below the water, or dreamed of riding on a London
to New York railway that took twelve days to travel the long way
around the world, or maybe just fancied fixing your bicycle to a
railway track, then this book is for you.
