Invisible Ships by Harl Vincent:
Science Fiction Inventions, Technology and Ideas

"THOUGH the benefits that might be derived from wholesale murder called "war" hardly balance the harm , it must be admitted that some good always results. For, though it seems sad, it is true — man's inventive powers are at their peak when he is engaged in battle. We are not at all certain that the instinct of self-preservation is altogether responsible for this sharpening of wits. However, in a war entirely unasked for by the earth people, the enemy in the story prepares for its own destruction in its own over-confidence. But there is no doubt that they have a powerful weapon — more powerful because it remains so long a mystery."
