Airships: The Library

Wanting to know more about airships, I began my research at the local library. While I did find some material there, it really wasn't very extensive. So, I began checking out local bookstores, new and used. It wasn't long before I had started my own collection of airship books. From time to time I'll be sharing my personal library here in this blog. One of the books to come across my path a few years ago, is a small (8" x 9"), hardbound copy of 'The Blimp Book'. It was published in 1977 by Squarebooks of Mill Valley, California. It documents the four Goodyear blimps: America, Columbia, Mayflower, and Europa. It is chuck full of great photos, mostly color, of the blimps, their crews, and some of their travels. There's even a chapter on how the blimps work and a bit of technical information too. Some of the aerial photos taken from the blimps are just spectacular.
