HIS MAJESTY'S AIRSHIP: The Life and Tragic Death of the World's Largest Flying Machine
The tragic fate of the British airship R101, which went down in a spectacular hydrogen fueled fireball in 1930, killing more people than the Hindenburg disaster seven years later, has been largely forgotten. Gwynne resurrects it in vivid detail, telling the epic story of great ambition gone terribly wrong. 16 pages of photos.
