Descrizione libro Hardcover. Condizione: New. From historian and bestselling author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist Empire of the Summer Moon comes a captivating, thoroughly researched (The New York Times Book Review) tale of the rise and fall of the worlds largest airship-and the doomed love story between an ambitious British officer and a married Romanian princess at its heart.The tragic fate of the British airship R101-which went down in a spectacular fireball in 1930, killing more people than died in the Hindenburg disaster seven years later-has been largely forgotten. In His Majestys Airship, S.C. Gwynne resurrects it in vivid detail, telling the epic story of great ambition gone terribly wrong.Airships, those airborne leviathans that occupied center stage in the world in the first half of the 20th century, were a symbol of the future. R101 was not just the largest aircraft ever to have flown and the product of the worlds most advanced engineering-she was also the lynchpin of an imperial British scheme to link by air the far-flung areas of its empire, from Australia to India, South Africa, Canada, Egypt, and Singapore. No one had ever conceived of anything like this, and R101 captivated the world. There was just one problem: beyond the hype and technological wonders, these big, steel-framed, hydrogen-filled airships were a dangerously bad idea.Gwynnes chronicle features a cast of remarkable-and tragically flawed-characters, including Lord Christopher Thomson, the man who dreamed up the Imperial Airship Scheme and then relentlessly pushed R101 to her destruction; Princess Marthe Bibesco, the celebrated writer and glamorous socialite with whom he had a long affair; and George Herbert Scott, a national hero who was the first person to cross the Atlantic twice in any aircraft, in 1919-eight years before Lindberghs famous flight-but who devolved into drink and ruin. These historical figures-and the ship they built, flew, and crashed-come together in a Promethean tale of unlimited ambitions and technical limitations, airy dreams and explosive endings (The Wall Street Journal).
