Book Title: The Giant Airships
Author: Douglas Botting & the editors of Time-Life Books
ISBN: 0-8094-3272-2
Category: History
Format: Hardback
Summary: Part of 'The Epic of Flight' series. The story of airships from the early 1900's to the destruction of the Hindenberg.
Chapter headings are: 1-The Count's unshakable dream. 2-Wartime missions for nocturnal monsters. 3-Probing new horizons of distance flight. 4-Touring the world on "the ship with a soul". 5-Crescendo & calamity.
Extensively illustrated with B/W photos plus coloured cutaway drawings. A very readable volume with many fascinating photos. The drawings I have attached are probably most relevant to WW1 Zep fanatics.
I don't think it is in print - I picked up my copy from a book exchange for $10AUD along with several other titles from the same series.
