Reviews
Totally captivating. A fascinating account of glory and tragedy that soars with suspense. I enjoyed the hell out of it!, Totally captivating. A fascinating account of glory and tragedy that soars with suspense. I enjoyed the hell out of it! -- Dirk Cussler When Giants Ruled the Sky examines the successes, problems and controversies of the American rigid airship program bringing the industrialists and engineers who designed and built them, and the officers and men who flew them, to life. No airship fancier's library should be without a copy. -- Tom Crouch It's too often forgotten that for a few short years the U.S. Navy actually possessed flying aircraft carriers and the world's greatest airship fleet. In his latest book, John Geoghegan has performed sterling service in excavating the astounding story of the Akron and the Macon from the tomb of lost history. -- Alexander Rose A well-researched history of the rigid airship "carrier" during the interwar years of U.S. naval aeronautics. A genuine contribution. -- William Althoff This extremely readable and gripping new account of the US Navy rigid airship programme and the demise of its giant flying aircraft carriers Akron and Macon, draws on fresh statements and personal accounts to tell the story through the eyes of those directly involved. The best book on the subject by far. -- Alastair Reid The best book focused upon the USS Akron & Macon published in the last 55 years! -- C.P. Hall

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
