British Airships 1905-1930

Presents the fascinating story of the cat and mouse duel between the airship and another pioneering form of technology - the submarine during World War 1. Detailed cut-away drawings reveal the design and development of the airship, during and after the war, whilst full-colour illustrations depict the airship in dramatic action shots.
A tragic accident in 1930 brought the British airship's military service to an end, resulting in a tiny window in which they were used and little acknowledgement over the years.

Ian Castle gives deserved attention to an aeronautical wonder that for a short amount of time played a crucial service to the defence of Britain.

British Airship Bases of the Twentieth Century

Numerous books have been written on airships, but few concentrate on their bases and infrastructure to support their operations. "British Airship Bases of the Twentieth Century" starts with documenting the primitive facilities from which the early machines flew in the years prior to the First World War.
The outbreak of the First World War resulted in airships being adopted for military purposes and bases were established across Britain. Most of these were operated by the Royal Naval Air Service for the protection of shipping against U-boats.

In the 1920s, an attempt was made by the British Government to build airships for commercial transport. The locations where these giants of the sky were constructed are described as well as the proposed overseas passenger terminals.
The latter part of this enthralling and detailed book chronicles the attempt to establish the airship as a means of transport to link together the far flung lands of the British Empire.
Reference is also made at attempts to revive the airship in the closing decade of the 20th century and the locations associated with them.
