1923 Vintage Press Photo.Noted English inventor predicts submarine that will travel faster underwater than on the surface.
Commander Chas. Burney, noted for many wartime inventions and who has many decorations, is also the holder of a bonus from the government of £125,000 for his wartime inventions. His newest prediction is a submarine that will travel faster underwater than on the surface, and an airship that will carry not guns, but airplanes. These are among the prophecies of warfare made in the House of Commons by this noted inventor.
