Between 1915-1917 the Austro-Hungarian "Versuchsgleitboot", designed by Austrian Dagobert Müller, was built and launched as the first air cushioned vehicle. See the link below for the story of Müller's craft, including photos. Throughout the period of WWI to WWII, a number of variations were designed in several countries, which all had their own shortcomings.
