Book Reviews of The Great Dirigibles
Book Review: Airships
Summary: 5 Stars
A well written account of what went right and what went wrong with the great airships. As more went wrong than went right,it is mostly an account of the disasters. The chapter on the Italia and Gen. Nobile was long and a little tedious as it was more an account of how they survived after crashing their airship in the arctic than about the airship that took them there.
Summary of The Great Dirigibles
Daring flights of early pioneers, descriptions of great American airships, much more-beginning with pioneer invention by Dr. Solomon Andrews in 1865 and ending with the Hindenburg crash in 1937. "...a dramatic account of a lost cause and the heroic men who fought to keep it alive."-Chicago Sunday Tribune. 32 photos.Strategy Books
