The Zeppelin: The History of the World's Greatest Airships
Using extensive archival footage, this documentary transcends the scope of a single period to hone in on the history of airships as developed and employed, transnationally, over time. Subtopics include: the German Zeppelin in World War I, the North Pole Expedition, the R101 Disaster of October 1930 in France, the Akron Zeppelin, and the construction and employment of blimps (also known as "non-rigid inflatables"). ~ Nathan Southern.
