5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best books on the US Navy airship program!, November 10, 1997
By 
balaclav@n-link.com (Ft. Hood, Texas, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Up Ship!: A History of the U.S. Navy's Rigid Airships 1919-1935 (Hardcover)
Douglas Robinson is one of the best-known historians of the airship with good reason. This book delves into the politics, the men, and the ships of the US Navy airship program & gives a very complete picture of the what was done right, what was done wrong, and why the program eventually met its fate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Up Ship!, February 1, 2002
This review is from: Up Ship!: A History of the U.S. Navy's Rigid Airships 1919-1935 (Hardcover)
An outstanding work, superbly ullustrated, which tells one not only everything one needs to know about the U.S. Navy's airship program, but also provides a full description of the technical aspects of airship design, construction and operation -- information applicable to all airships, not just those of the USN. A very balanced presentation in which the author displays both an appreciation of the romantic nature of airships, and an awareness of their limitations.
