This majestically illustrated book traces the development of Count von Zeppelin's first airships, culminating in the creation of the largest object that has ever flown, the Hindenburg. The economical prose explains the basic science of dirigible flight but also captures the haunting beauty of the ships. The watercolor illustrations include a scaled, cutaway "blueprint" and step-by-step panels detailing the airship's construction.
