Viac o knihe
An elegant silk balloon wafting through the French skies of 1783 heralded the beginnings of air travel, and part of that legacy was the dirigible, or steerable balloon. Dirigibles have been in constant use for more than 100 years and possess a varied and often singular history. Employed for pleasure, war, exploration, and travel, these "ships of the air" evolved into forms as different as the German zepplins of World War I and the blimps hovering overhead at present day sporting events.In text and striking paintings, 'Ships of the Air' traces the intriguing development of these stately craft, creating an evocative picture of one aspect of man's search for the secret of flight.
