Look at the picture. They predicted tug boat airplanes, painted floating signs, boies as flight path markers. They knew that air travel was coming but they could only extend the existing technology to explain it. Our current views of the future are no better. I had a book from 1912 with this picture and many other predictions in it. It was thrown away in 1960. I cant remember its name. Children's encyclopedia the book of wonders something.
