About This Item
Washington, DC: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1991. 1st Ed 1st Pr. Hardbound. 4to. 4 Pgs.. V-Fine in Good DJ/Good. Airshipmen Businessmen and Politics 1890-1940 by Henry Cord Meyer. Published by Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington, DC, 1991. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardbound. Paper DJ. Size 4to (up to 12'' tall). Condition: V-Fine in Good DJ. 273 Pgs. ISBN 1560980311. LCCN 90-22345. From the Smithsonian History of Aviation Series. Rigid airships, the first aircraft capable of crossing the oceans with significant numbers of passengers and cargo, captured the public's imagination and the attention of many who saw in the dirigible a chance to expand their own ambitions, whether personal, political, military, or commercial. Drawing on governmental, company, and private archives from Germany, England, and the US, the author shows how politicians and airship company executives with ulterior motives exploited public enthusiasm as well as feelings of nationalism. 94 illustrations and photographs, many of them published in the US for the 1st time. This book illuminated the personalities of the many airship developers who have been overshadowed by the glamour of the pioneers or the spectacle of airship disasters.
