Book Description

Karl Arnstein's life was defined by the world wars, which shattered Europe. But for these cataclysmic events, his life's work might have been far different. Here Arnstein adapted his analysis of utilitarian structures fixed firmly to the ground to examination of flying structures, the Zeppelins. His story is in many ways the story of airship building in the early decades of the twentieth century.
