Description
While numerous articles and books have been devoted to particular aspects of LTA, Lee Payne has filled a void with his comprehensive work Lighter Than Air : An Illustrated History of the Airship. The general reader will find before him the history of man's ingenuity in trying to adapt or conquer the air above our earth. Those engaged in aviation research will find a truly valuable reference work. All will enjoy this picture record of success and failure that ends in a question mark. Lee Payne was born in 1935 and was employed as Chief Photographer at the Orange Coast Daily Pilot in Costa Mesa. As a newspaper photographer in 1961 he took a ride on the last Navy blimp to visit the West Coast and its smooth, effortless flight was a great revelation to one usually afflicted with airsickness. He decided to learn more about airship. This book is the result.
