USS Los Angeles
The Navy's venerable airship and aviation technology

Engels, hardcover met stofomslag (beschadigd hoekje), 2003, 336 pagina's, met heel veel foto's

Combines original photographs with exacting research in official records. Reveals the U.S. Army's furtive efforts to weaken the navy's control over developments in lighter-than-air technology.

Aviation historian William F. Althoff tells the story of the U.S. Navy's airship, the USS Los Angeles, the most successful aircraft of its type ever flown. In dramatic detail, althoff recounts how the navy arranged for the famed german zeppelin company to build the ship, thwarted schemes by the U.S. Army's air service to take control of it, and helped plan its record-breaking, historic, four-day flight from germany to the united states. Flight enthusiasts will appreciate Althoff's treatment of this critical juncture in the genesis of aviation technology.
