Douglas Hill Robinson (–1998)

This is really the ne plus ultra history of German airships during WW1. Although it concentrates on the Marine Luftschiffabteilung, the Army's use is not neglected (But deserves its own coverage.). The appendices and tables alone are worth the cost of the book.
This is the illustrated edition of the classic history and includes several hundred images from Dr Robinson's personal collection. Earlier editions had a scant 50 or so images. The text is that of the original edition. So, if you are show more looking for a copy, try to get this one.
The publication maintains Schiffer's deserved reputation for quality publications.

Not a doctor, not a pilot--but for some reason I picked up this book because it sounded interesting. It was not only interesting, it was fascinating. I would love to see a revised edition of this work.

The B-58 Hustler Strategic Bomber is one of the best strategic weapon systems in existence today (1976). Its ability to fly at high altitudes at supersonic speed, as well as its ability to fly at high subsonic speeds, close to the ground, gives this aeroplane a flexibility that is particularly desirable in this day of sophisticated defenses.
(Unquestioning acceptance of US Air Force description of a very flawed design)

Literally everything you could ask for when it comes to a study of German Zeppelin operations. Excellent photos and first hand accounts.
