Sobre este artículo
New York: Scribners, 2023. First edition. has. Fine/fine. Fine apparently unread copy in fine dust jacket. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. Illustrated endpapers. 299 pp. with bibliography, index. Illustrated with photographs. The 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---had largely been forgotten. This work provides the stunning historical tale of the rise and fall of the world's largest airship---and the doomed story between an ambitious British officer and a married Romanian princess at its heart. The R101, product of the world's most advanced engineering up to that time, was not just the largest airship ever to have flown, she was also the lynchpin of an imperial British plan to link by air the far-flung areas of its empire, from Austraiia to India, South Africa, Canada, Egypt, and Singapore.
