The Great Airships
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is a small but intriguing book that tells the story of the great airships from the early part of the twentieth century. It focuses on the American, British, French, and German airships that plied the airways of the interwar period. The "Hindenberg" graced the skies above the 1936 Berlin Olympics prior to its fateful trip to Lakehurst, New Jersey. The book covers the history and then transitions to the present with the Goodyear blimps. This is a relatively short but informattive book that is well illustrated. It gives the reader a good introduction to these airships that esemble floating rocket ships above the cities of the world.
