About

Traces the history of world-wide airship development from its earlier years to American and Russian types of the 1950s, and discusses airship potential for the future.

At one time the airship seemed to be a potential rival to the ocean liner but despite some success in military use during the First World War, the airship was clearly at a disadvantage to the more-manoeuvrable and faster aeroplane. With its long-range potential the airship came into limited commercial use between the wars but accidents, the threat of fire and explosion, vulnerability to bad weather.

Illustrated with monochrome images and fine line drawings.
