That's a very good insight - I wonder how many other things we could say the same for, and what things we currently regard with trepidation will be considered quaint window dressing of our era when it is reimagined.
Good point - we forget at the time that people's mindsets would not have involved the expectation of something like radar, so surprise attacks from the air (like the fear of 'the bomber will always get through' from the 1930s) would have loomed larger than the scale of the damage any particular attack could do.I was talking about this article with a friend of mine who read it and he described Wells' fears of airships as being "not the atomic bomb but the suitcase nuke." That's a perfect way of describing it.
