by Daniel George Ridley-Kitts MBE
Big topic, small book—but very nicely done and useful to both the casual reader and the ardent enthusiast. Airships were the first aircraft capable of controlled powered flight and knowing how they work is an essential bit of knowledge.

The technical specs of this hypercar are as mind-boggling as the sheer novelty of its technology. But more than that, much more than that, all the things that made this car possible that can’t be quantified on a spreadsheet really matter here. This book tries to capture that.
