Sky Sailors: The Story of the World’s Airshipmen

December 23, 2021 By

$22.00

By Ces Mowthorpe:  The story of the sky sailors – the men who pioneered a mode of air transport that today is virtually forgotten. During the first two decades of aviation pioneering (c.1890-1910), airshipmen greatly outnumbered aeroplane pioneers. But the great innovations in heavier-than-air aircraft, the advent of two world wars, and the bad publicity brought about by a few horrific airship disasters, Hindenburg and Shenandoah to mention two, changed the picture completely.
