There have been lots of books about the big, lighter-than-air craft. I remember buying one, by a writer known as “Spanner”, when I was a schoolboy. The excuse for this one is that it is readable, contains a great deal of concentrated information and particularly that it contains some very fine photographic illustration. Those searching for a Christmas present without a motoring connotation should consider this one, for anyone with any interest at all in aviation.—W.B.
