Fatal Flight: The True Story of Britain's Last Great Airship
Fatal Flight - The Tragic Story of R.101, Britain's Last Great Airship Join us on a journey through time as we relive the tragic story of R.101, Britain's last great airship.
This meticulously researched and superbly written book takes you from the moment the great airship emerged from its giant shed to soar on its first flight, to its final fateful voyage. Experience the grandeur of R.101, a luxury liner three and a half times the length of a 747 jet, with spacious lounges, dining rooms that seated 50, glass-walled promenade decks, and a smoking room.
Learn about the dreams of the British who expected R.101 to spearhead a fleet of imperial airships dominating the skies. Follow First Officer Noel Atherstone and his crew on their perilous journey from the ship's first test flight in 1929 to its fiery crash on October 5, 1930.
Witness the heroic actions of Atherstone as he battled political pressures, fended off Britain's most feted airship pilot, and guided the rebuilding of the ship to correct its faulty design. Set against the backdrop of the British Empire at the height of its power in the early 20th century, Fatal Flight portrays an extraordinary age in technology, fuelled by ambition and driven by the human spirit.
Don't miss this opportunity to experience one of history's most tragic aviation tales.
