5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best., May 27, 1999
By A Customer
One of the best airship books written as the author was directly involved in all aspects of the zeppelin program. No book written so far exceeds this one in illuminating the operations and organization of the passenger airship effort. Pictures never before seen are included. The story is told in context with the political situation of the time. A must read book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent reference book for the serious airship enthusiast, January 13, 1999
By A Customer
This book is a first-hand account by Harold G. Dick who was the only American ever to be allowed into the Zeppelin-Luftschiffbau operations. His experiences between 1934-1938 and his extensive notes of that time provide the reader with a fantastic understanding of the complexities and excitement associated with these graceful giants of the sky....Wish I had been alive at that time to see them!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars A wealth of technical detail makes this book a must-read., July 24, 1997
By A Customer
Harold Dick was the American representative of the Goodyear-Zeppelin joint venture, and he lived and worked at Friedrichshafen and aboard the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg. Dick was given full access to the operations of the German Zeppelin company, and he flew as a passenger and/or crew member on 22 transatlantic flights aboard the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg. His observations about the German passenger zeppelins are fascinating, and he provides a rare personal insight, from an American perspective, on airship captains Hugo Eckener, Ernst Lehmann, and Max Pruss. Dick also provides a wealth of technical details on zeppelin construction and operation which are not available anywhere else. While not written with the eloquence or grace of a professional author, the detail and commentary in Dick's book make it a must-read for any serious student of zeppelin history.
