SHIPS IN THE SKY . GREAT AIRSHIP DISATERS OF THE WORLD 

BY

JOHN TOLAND

PUBLISHED ; MULLER

HARD BACK

FIRST EDITION 1957

‘At 7.25 p.m. on May 6th, 1937, the giant  dirigible Hindenburg was poised for a landing at  its mooring mast at Lakehurst, New ]ersey.  Exactly thirty-four seconds later the airship was  a white-hot skeleton on the ground. The final  toll: thirty-six dead —— thirteen r passengers,  twenty-two crewmen, and one member of the  ground crew.  Those thirty-four seconds put an end to the  dreams of centuries, the experiments of fifty  years, the brilliant and dangerous twenty years  in which lighter-than-air flight seemed to be a  practical reality. Millions had seen the great  dirigibles floating majestically overhead—silver  monsters that seemed too vast to fly; and none  who saw them failed to feel a certain regret at  their demise.  In Ships In The Sky John Toland tells the  whole story of dirigibles, of the adventurous  men who developed them and flew them, of the  great flights and death flights that made them  admired and feared beyond all other means of  transportation.  He tells of Santos-Dumont, the dapper little  Brazilian millionaire, whose aerial escapades  over Paris won him international fame and the  affectionate nick-name of “Santos-Dismount”;  and of the spectacular progress of the dirigible  in Germany under Count von Zeppelin and  Dr. Hugo Eckener. And upon the climactic  chapters of airship history John Toland lavishes  the kind of intense, minute-by-minute reportage  that made every reader of A Night To Remember  an eyewitness to the sinking of the Titanic.   He describes the terrible half-hour over Ada,  Ohio, when the Shenandoah, caught between  two line squalls, was gradually twisted and torn  apart as if by two giant hands; the momentous  flights of General Umberto Nobile, and his  harrowing thirty days on polar ice with the  survivors of the Italia; what happened to the  R-38 and R-I01,‘ and how passengers, crew,  ground crew, and eyewitnesses survived the  demoniac thirty-four-second blaze of the  Hindenburg.  The great ships, the great adventures, the  great airshipmen—all are here, established by  creative research and presented in an almost  photographic prose.
