In postcards and advertisements, the sleek, silver, cigar-shaped airships, or dirigibles, were the embodiment of futuristic visions of air travel. They immediately captivated the imaginations of people worldwide, but in less than fifty years dirigible became a byword for doomed futurism, an Icarian figure of industrial hubris. Dirigible Dreams looks back on this bygone era, when the future of exploration, commercial travel, and warfare largely involved the prospect of wingless flight. 606 $aAirships 606 $aAirships$xDesign and construction 615 0$aAirships. 615 0$aAirships$xDesign and construction. 676 $a629.13324 700 $aHiam$b C.
