Inventions by Edward N. Jackson Claim Flying Torpedoes and Steam Turbine
Edward N. Jackson of Weymouth England asserts flying torpedoes can reach air and ground launched propulsion via catapulting.

Fred Strofield reports only one similar white emu seen in a lifetime, with this bird about a year old and undersized, pale blue eyes, and snow white plumage.
