After looking over the list again, prediction #'s 7 and 8 have also happened. Of course the author most likely had lighter than air flight when he mentioned huge airships. They were used extensively during WWII. The Germans gave up their airship program because the hydrogen was just too unsafe. At the time the USA had the worlds only supply of helium. So the US Navy continued to use them as the most effective sub hunting tool at the time.

The first heaver than air flight took place 3 years after this was published.

VirginiaGreen, I like the tube idea as well, but sadly that technology will not be developed for a long time. Check out some of the documentaries on this site.

Friendly bump before I post mine.

WOW! Amazing!

But to be honest, some of them I could predict by myself (Prediction #23, for example)

Quite interesting and amazing how close some of them were.. Have to laugh at number 3 they missed the mark on that one by a long shot..
