The whole story of the airship, its construction and major disasters. The volume looks at the development of the German "Zeppelins" and also describes Britain's efforts to initiate its own airship programme spanning the Empire. The airship projects of all the major powers are presented to the reader, with not only military airships shown and commented on, but also passenger airships, those for expeditions, or even those that were to serve as airborne aircraft carriers.
