Airships for the Future by White. William J.,

Hard back book with colour pictorial cover, 160 pages, 27 chapters profusely illustrated with B/W plates and drawings, LTA glossary, index.

The book describes the latest developments in the expanding field of lighter-than-air transportation with a look at the promising future of airships. The race to flight-test huge aerial cranes, continued testing of technologically advanced new materials like the fibre Kevlar, plans for manned blimp patrols off the English coast-these are just some of the areas where pioneering individuals and corporations are working to prove that the attractive dream of widespread airship transport is technically and economically practical.
