The Story of the Airship (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781589639928)

Originally published in 1931, this is the story of the lighter-than-air ship. It is not generally known that the first passenger-carrying flight was made in 1783, more than a century before the Wright brothers - or that flying really began with lighter-than-air craft. Benjamin Franklin was one of the witnesses of these earliest flights and wrote home to friends in America about them.
