Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. London. Jonathan Cape Ltd. 1978. Hard Cover. First Edition. No printing remarks. Landscape format. Post 4to 10" x 8" [25.4cm x 20cm] approx. 73 pp. Black boards with silver vignette and titles to the upper board and spine. Endpapers are black with white diagrams of the Hindenburg. Richly illustrated in sepia throughout. Jacket photograph by Harri Peccinotti. The age of the commercial airship was short-lived, for scarcely more than a quarter of a century. In that time, the incidence of disastrous failure was high. Although comparatively few fare-paying passengers lost their lives in airship wrecks, fatalities among the machines out-number the airships that survived to pass into honourable retirement. Yet Len Deighton calls the airship one of the greatest triumphs of structural engineering the world has seen. Through this remarkable collection of photographs, many of them never published before, he bears witness to the magic of those gentle, awesome giants of the sky - 'cathedral arches twisted into a tracery of aluminium'. Just two years before World War II and the demise of the airship, the only regular Passenger flights between Europe and North America or Brazil were by luxuriously appointed and noiseless noiseless airships sauntering gracefully at low enough altitude for navigation by road maps. Even as early as 1912, passengers could relax in their wicker armchairs on the carpeted flight deck after an excellent cold lunch aboard the postal delivery zeppelin and watch the German countryside unroll beneath them at a steady 45 miles per hour. The dust jacket will be protected with a new inert archival quality sleeve which is removable. Please contact us if you would like any more information or additional images.

VG++* Illustrations: Numerous b/w photos, prints and line drawings throughout.* Pages: 71 pp. text. ii pp. acknowledgements at rear.* Description: The author describes the development of the airship as a mode of transport, its popularity and its demise, including the many airships which crashed. Through this remarkable collection of photographs, many of them never published before, the author bears witness to the magic of those gentle, awesome giants of the sky - "cathedral arches twisted into a tracery of aluminium." Superficially it would seem that airships were a folly, a passing fad, a brief interval between centuries of slow, muscle-bound, earthly travel and the age of rockets in space. That would be to overlook the mystique of the airship, enshrined in this book as a sort of divine catalyst, a spark burning bright and extinguished in the instant, having enabled men to cross the threshold and move out to the far reaches of the universe.* A NEAR FINE copy of the 1st./1st. with NO MAJOR FAULTS.* 1978-10-12. n.

The toughening of men for the job, the "impossible" technical problems involved: these have their part in the book. But most of these pages relate to the extraordinary adventures, mishaps and blood-curdling crises into which these dicers with death have been thrown. They include collision, fire, mechanical and electrical failure, fuel leakage and fuel famine. There are also many exciting photographs.* A JUST GOOD copy of the 1st./1st. with library stamp, missing end paper and grubby, attached, clear dust jacket.* 1962-01-01. n.
