### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Oddly Fascinating
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on December 16, 2014*

I bought this book by mistake on kindle, but decided to read it anyway.  It is filled with facts, but the bottom line is that dirigibles were a fantastic concept.  I totally understand how the inventors became obsessed with them.  The explorations of the Arctic were very precarious, but it seemed to be an age when people never thought about a plan B, which is such an ingrained part of our thinking nowadays.  Also, dirigibles were very dangerous, but flying in them seemed to be delightful.  I wish I could have been one of the passengers crossing back and forth across the Atlantic, although I think one had to be pretty rich to do it.  It seems so much nicer to float rather than the harsh reality of jet travel.  Also, great photographs!

    Up in the Air
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2018*

In a very readable account, the author gives us a thorough overview of the mad rush to make commercial dirigible transport a reality.Dirigible technology at that time was full of danger and unknown challenges that those early designers were willing to confront. The engineering challenge in the safe design of a viable commercial dirigible at the time pushed men and equipment to the very limit as we see here in this well-done story. This story captures all of the excitement and all of the danger.Dirigible Dreams is a fun informative read on the dream of dirigible travel. Unfortunately, that dream remains to this day unfulfilled.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    An interesting book
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2019*

After reading this book I think it should have been called Dirigible Nightmares. The book mostly relates one disaster after another by every country that used this technology, the Germans being the most successful at developing ships and operations. I did learn many new things from reading this book and when I finished it felt that if things had gone a little different the dirigible may have been at least an interim air transport before jets.
