Modern Marvels. Airships
Description
In 1783, the Montgolfier brothers launched the first hot air balloon. Since then Germany, Great Britain, and the United States have experimented with and improved on airships for military and economic purposes. Although still in use for sightseeing, surveillance, and research, the Hindenburg and other crashes ended the airship's role in luxury travel and in the military.
