Book Reviews of The Great Dirigibles
Book Review: Still a worthy read
Summary: 3 Stars
Informative look beyond just the Hindenburg of the many voyages and tragedies experienced in air travel of this type. The book was originally published in 1957 and then reprinted in 1972 and during this time, many new theories have developed that explain why certain events took place. Although slightly out of date on technology explanations, the material and stories are worth reading.
