Dr Eckener's Dream Machine - The
Historic Saga of the Round-the-World Zeppelin
(HarperCollins, London/Henry Holt, New York 2003) -
'A truly exciting book, filled with colourful
characters and plenty of derring-do, laced with just the right
amount of sadness and tragedy - breathtaking !' (Booklist USA-
starred review)
'Written with the spice of a thriller and the clarity of fine
investigative journalism, this book tells a glorious and unholy
tale.' (Manchester Evening News)
An outstanding tribute to an outstanding man. Better than any other
author I know of, Botting has captured and recreated the glamour and
magic of Zeppelin travel.' (Gordon Vaeth, Zeppelin historian and
friend of Eckener)
'A richly detailed look at the man who helped pioneer air travel -
a remarkable achievement. More than merely an acount of the
airship's history, it looks into the soul of the man who would keep
it afloat at any cost - Hugo Eckener.'' (Chicago Tribune)
A fascinating, lively and meticulously researched story.' (New
York Review of Books)
'Douglas Botting's research into this fascinating subject is
impressive, and he writes of Eckener and his zeppelins with verve,
gusto and affection.' (Evening Standard, London)
