The Great Dirigibles

their triumphs and disasters

Plot

Everything in this book, including bits of dialogue, is as factual and accurate as can be, since everything is taken from eye-witness accounts. The true stories of these men and their fabulous floating machines are among the most exciting of modern adventures. There are 32 outstanding photographs of dirigibles in flight and in mooring (including four of the fiery destruction of the "Hindenburg" ), and of the men who flew them. Ther grandeur of the great dirigibles once captured the imaginations of millions, and is still a fascinating if failed chapter in the history of man's inventiveness.
