Aeroplanes And Dirigibles Of War (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781162651545)

Aeroplanes And Dirigibles Of War is a comprehensive guide to the use of aircraft in warfare. Written by Frederick A. Talbot, a British journalist and author, the book was first published in 1914, just as the First World War was beginning. The book covers the history of aviation up to that point and provides a detailed analysis of the different types of aircraft that were being used in combat, including biplanes, monoplanes, dirigibles, and balloons. Talbot also discusses the strategies and tactics used by various countries in the use of aircraft during wartime, as well as the challenges and dangers faced by pilots and crews. The book is illustrated with photographs and diagrams, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of aviation or military technology.The Zeppelin has always aroused the world's attention, although this interest has fluctuated. Regarded at first as a wonderful achievement of genius, afterwards as a freak, then as the ready butt for universal ridicule, and finally with awe, if not with absolute terror--such in brief is the history of this craft of the air.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
