This is the fascinating story of the dream of a completely new aircraft, a hybrid of the plane and the rigid airship - huge, wingless, moving slowly through the lower sky. John McPhee chronicles the perhaps unfathomable perseverance of the aircraft's sucessive progenitors.

I really like airships

3 stars

An odd venture on all fronts, characteristically documented but why... other than that I like dirigibles, and so did these guys.
