Recounts the story of the lighter-than-air 'pond hoppers' from the earliest schemes and bold pioneering flights, including the triumphant double-crossing by the R34. This book describes the rise of the Zeppelins and the ambitious British scheme to connect its far-flung Empire, and the post-war proposals for colossal atomic-powered leviathans.
