Description
The author has detailed the complete saga of the United States Navy's nearly fifty years' involvement with airships, including the twenty - four - year period after the Hindenburg tragedy. It is the story of ships that were longer than a football field but, when properly balanced, could be moved by a man's finger.
SKY SHIPS is based on research in primary sources including dozens of interviews with navy personnel and civilian participants. In addition the book has more than two hundred remarkable photographs, most of which have never before been published. In this book, the author has compiled an extraordinary story of a unique era in the history of manned flight.
