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
