The Book of the Damned More slowly, he crawled after the dragging footsteps and the gasps of the invisible raider, following them through the vast dimness of the interior of the dirigible ZX-1. Raiders Invisible "You're right, Marsh; and he lost his life down at Panama; tried to cross the isthmus in a dirigible, and was never heard from again." The Airplane Boys among the Clouds or, Young Aviators in a Wreck This took place while the dirigible was flying back and forth, ahead and astern, between the destroyers and to either side of their course. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers Liberal in expenditure of money, and utterly fearless in exposing his life, he pushed his experiments for the development of a true dirigible tirelessly. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons And airships in the air—dirigibles and flying machines. The Scarlet Plague Get in touch with the Saratoga; tell 'em what you received; tell 'em to send some men up to that dirigible, wherever she is. Raiders Invisible We shall build it here, then transport it to the Area, where its dirigible housing will be ready to receive it. Skylark Three As the dirigible came nearer signals were rapidly exchanged. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers The layman scarcely appreciates the very slight shift in ballast which will affect the stability of a dirigible. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons It was on a landing stage, just as she was embarking in her private dirigible, that she dropped her parasol. The Scarlet Plague It seeps into every cranny of the dirigible, killing everything. Raiders Invisible But the problem of the dirigibility of a boat, or of a balloon, is simplicity itself compared with the amazing complexity of the problems involved in producing a dirigible civilization. By the Christmas Fire As the destroyer raced in almost under the dirigible Darrin raised his right hand. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers In the United States the only serious effort to develop the dirigible prior to the war, and to apply it to some definite purpose, was made not by the government but by an individual. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons His ears were black, long, and highly dirigible. The Galaxy Primes Their first step had been the dirigibles: their second was a blow which paled the other into insignificance. Raiders Invisible One dirigible rocket remained in action, its exhaust hidden from the enemy by the body of the vessel, and Captain Czuv soon recovered his senses. Spacehounds of IPC And now the dirigible had slowed down, until she was travelling, as her signals stated, at just the speed of the submerged craft directly under her. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers Mr. Walter Wellman, a distinguished journalist, fired by the effort of Andr�e to reach the North Pole in a drifting balloon, undertook a similar expedition with a dirigible in 1907. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons They saw its two hundred foot mooring mast for dirigibles rising above the eighty-five stories of the main structure. The White Invaders Only one of the dirigibles had been destroyed. Raiders Invisible He shut off the beam; then, noting that they were traveling a trifle faster than the comet, he applied a small voltage to one dirigible projector. Spacehounds of IPC For some minutes more the dirigible moved back and forth through the air, her observers watching for the presence of hidden enemy craft. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers France was stronger in airplanes but weaker in dirigibles. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons Rapidly decreasing what had at first seemed a swift flight, they floated like ghostly dirigibles over the bay, heading for Manhattan. The White Invaders You are the dirigible force, the last brick in the building, the final answer. Highways in Hiding Two or three of the big dirigible projectors of the lower band are on the rim of this piece-of-pie-shaped section we're riding, I think. Spacehounds of IPC "It's an airship, a dirigible," announced the executive officer. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers Seaplanes, small dirigibles on the order of the English "blimp" type, and kite balloons have already shown themselves to be more effective in detecting submarines than are submarine chasers or armed liners. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons There had been many balloon ascensions at the State Fair, and once a dirigible airship had sailed over the town of Oakdale. Grace Harlowe's Plebe Year at High School The Merry Doings of the Oakdale Freshmen Girls At 9:30 o'clock that morning the convoy maneuvered into battle formation with a U.�S. cruiser leading the convoy while four small sub chasers circled about in high speed and an army dirigible flew overhead. The Delta of the Triple Elevens The History of Battery D, 311th Field Artillery US Army, American Expeditionary Forces A few more flights of stairs brought them to the upper band of dirigible projectors, which encircled the hull outside the passengers' quarters, some sixty feet below the prow. Spacehounds of IPC When the dirigible was at last lost to view the destroyer lay to, her lookouts using their glasses. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers At the present moment it would appear that the most dangerous enemy of the submarine yet discovered is the airplane or the dirigible. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons His superiors had scouted his story of two boys who had burned the dirigibles, and had assumed that he had been careless. The Boy Scouts on the Trail At this meet there were five flying machines,—three biplanes, a monoplane, and a dirigible balloon. The Rover Boys in the Air From College Campus to the Clouds "Down the lining of the hull, outside the passengers' quarters to the upper dirigible projectors," and he led the way down a series of steep steel stairways, through bulkheads and partitions of steel. Spacehounds of IPC "Good hit," said the dirigible, by radio, and the message was called up to the bridge. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers The submarines fired on the dirigible without success, whereas bombs from the dirigible sank one submarine. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons They can throw them on the trenches—and they're good to guard against aeroplanes and dirigibles, too. The Boy Scouts on the Trail There was also a simple and informal escort of about fifty airy-oplanes, the six dirigible balloons having been cut out of the program in accordance from the President's wishes. Potash and Perlmutter Settle Things But the linkage held, and closer and closer Stevens drove the fourfold menace of his frightful dirigible bombs. Spacehounds of IPC "I will accompany him, for I must see what reason that craft had for firing on a British dirigible." Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers On May 4, 1915, the German Admiralty reported an engagement between a German dirigible and several British submarines in the North Sea. Aircraft and Submarines The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons "One little spark reaching any of that stored hydrogen would have torn that great dirigible into fragments in one gigantic blast." Around the World in Ten Days With an explosion of gas from the huge cigar-shaped balloon, the dirigible dropped earthward, its bird enemy seeming to fall with it. Secret History Revealed By Lady Peggy O'Malley He set upper and lower bands of dirigible projectors to apply a powerful sidewise thrust, and the Sirius darted off her course. Spacehounds of IPC "Nothing but a dirigible, commanded by the right man," Dave explained. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers An aeronautical corps in the French army consists of 334 aeroplanes and 14 dirigibles. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights Only four of the eleven aircraft to start had succeeded in getting across the treacherous Atlantic, two of these being dirigible balloons, one a flying-boat, and the other a Vickers-Vimy biplane. Around the World in Ten Days Just as the dirigible passed over the bridge, which hadn't yet been blown up, looking enormous, for it hung lower now, the monoplane—tiny in comparison—dived full upon it. Secret History Revealed By Lady Peggy O'Malley The German dirigibles had all been annihilated within the first ten months of the war in their great cross-channel raid by Pathé contact bombs trailed at the ends of wires by high-flying French planes. The Man Who Rocked the Earth Another half hour passed, for, though the dirigible moved swiftly, the underseas craft she was watching was moving only at submerged speed. Dave Darrin After The Mine Layers The idea for the big airship did not originate with Count Zeppelin, but with David Schwartz, a young Austrian, who built his first dirigible in 1893. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights The other dirigible, commanded by Americans, had reached Teheran, Persia, where gas-bag troubles had compelled her crew to continue by train. Around the World in Ten Days By the mingled dawnlight and firelight we could see figures running to the fields where the wreck of the great dirigible and the heroic little monoplane had come down. Secret History Revealed By Lady Peggy O'Malley Across the river, under the concealed guns of a sunken battery, stood the huge hangars of the now useless dirigibles Z51~57. The Man Who Rocked the Earth The organization of the French air service, with its system of airplane and seaplane squadrons, dirigibles and observation balloons, schools, repair-shops, and manufactories, is entirely an outgrowth of the war. Italy at War and the Allies in the West This dirigible made a cruise of 200 miles at an average speed of twenty miles. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights Sea planes carrying bombs, small dirigible balloons known as "blimps," observation balloons moored on the decks of warships, steel nets, and especially devised anti-submarine mines, were also factors in the general work of submarine destruction. History of the World War An Authentic Narrative of the World's Greatest War When the dirigible was sailing quietly along, a waiter came in and began setting the table. Billy Whiskers' Adventures Behind a small hill within the German fortifications a group of officers stood in the moonlight, examining what looked superficially like the hangar of a small dirigible. The Man Who Rocked the Earth Now it is manifest that the outward movements of man are dirigible by reason, since the outward members are set in motion at the command of reason. Summa Theologica, Part II-II (Secunda Secundae) Translated by Fathers of the English Dominican Province Probably the aeroplane and the dirigible balloon have had a greater influence on the conduct of battles and military campaigns as a whole than any other device utilized in connection with the war. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights Partially successful dirigible balloons have been occasionally exhibited for a number of years. History of the World War An Authentic Narrative of the World's Greatest War While this was going on, the dirigible had quietly glided into its hangar and was quickly being tied up. Billy Whiskers' Adventures "Ein Flieger!" he cried hoarsely, staring at it in astonishment, knowing full well that no dirigible or aeroplane of German manufacture bore any resemblance to this extraordinary voyager of the air. The Man Who Rocked the Earth I answer that, In all things dirigible according to reason, the excessive is that which goes beyond, and the deficient is that which falls short of the rule of reason. Summa Theologica, Part II-II (Secunda Secundae) Translated by Fathers of the English Dominican Province Another step just a bit in advance of aeroplane scouting for submarines is the use of a small dirigible for the same purpose. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights The searchlights flash above the city; the street lights are shaded overhead in foolish fancy as a protection from aeroplanes or dirigibles. The Audacious War "And I still feel sick from hanging with my head down so long when that old dirigible traveled upside down," declared Button. Billy Whiskers' Adventures The great dirigibles sailed out a few hours ago. Soldier Silhouettes on our Front But Jesus touched him where he lived, and he crumpled up like some high floating dirigible whose gas tank explodes in mid-air. "Say Fellows—" Fifty Practical Talks with Boys on Life's Big Issues This is nothing more nor less than a small dirigible balloon, hundreds of which the United States government started to build when it entered the war. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights No aviation grounds or dirigible sheds are to be allowed within 150 kilometers of the Rhine, or the eastern or southern frontiers, existing installations within these limits to be destroyed. World's War Events Volume 3 Beginning with the departure of the first American destroyers for service abroad in April, 1917, and closing with the treaties of peace in 1919. "It must be an aeroplane then, but I can't see a thing in the sky," said Button, but as he spoke a huge dirigible balloon poked its nose out of a cloud over their heads. Billy Whiskers' Adventures Aviator: A scout must have a knowledge of the theory of æroplanes, ball balloons and dirigibles, and must have made a working model of an æroplane or dirigible that will fly at least twenty-five yards. Outdoor Sports and Games The target is much larger than the forty-two centimeter was, and there are no Taubes or dirigibles here to drive us off. The Forest of Swords A Story of Paris and the Marne His machine, whether it be a dirigible balloon or airplane, is equipped with a wireless telegraph instrument with which he is able to send brief messages back to his own line or military headquarters. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights On one occasion, he urged upon the Senate a memorial from an aëronaut, who desired the aid of the government in experiments which he was conducting with dirigible balloons. Stephen A. Douglas A Study in American Politics Once the dirigible sailed for hundreds of feet upside down. Billy Whiskers' Adventures He must also have a knowledge of the engines used for æroplanes and dirigibles. Outdoor Sports and Games April 12—German dirigible drops seven bombs on Nancy, doing slight damage. New York Times Current History; The European War, Vol 2, No. 3, June, 1915 April-September, 1915 The big dirigibles mount machine guns of superior range. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights Such inconveniences become serious with dirigible balloons, whose surface, on the contrary, it is necessary to diminish as much as possible. Scientific American Supplement No. 819, September 12, 1891 This great big dirigible, the first of its size to cross the Atlantic Ocean, was landing right before their eyes. Billy Whiskers' Adventures Some seven miles behind the trenches, in that vague "Somewhere in France," the British Army had established a naval air-station, where one of its dirigible airships was kept. Kings, Queens and Pawns An American Woman at the Front It was Professor Davis who invented the dirigible kite several years ago, three strings allowing the operator to steer the kite from right to left at will or to make it sink to earth. McClure's Magazine, Vol. 6, No. 4, March, 1896 Complete apparatus has been built up for launching the projectiles from the large dirigibles, and to insure the missiles traveling properly vanes have been attached to some of them. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights And yet that very fact goes to prove my assertion that in war time dynamite could be easily dropped into a fortress by means of a dirigible balloon, or an aeroplane. The Outdoor Chums on the Gulf By this time the big dirigible was floundering in the stormclouds as a ship does in a heavy sea, only ten times more so. Billy Whiskers' Adventures In a thunderstorm a balloon, or gas-filled dirigible, is subject to sudden variations of electric charge which, under certain conditions, might produce sparks leading to its annihilation. The Boy Inventors' Radio Telephone This"—playing the thought happily—"this would be the ideal arrangement, while our planes and dirigibles were kept over our lines to strike down theirs. The Last Shot No aviation grounds or dirigible sheds are to be allowed within 150 kilometers of the Rhine or the eastern or southern frontiers, existing installations within these limits to be destroyed. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights One now hears that a French dirigible has been dropping bombs into Luxembourg—a much more dignified retort. New York Times, Current History, Vol 1, Issue 1 From the Beginning to March, 1915 With Index A dirigible is lighter than a ship and the wind at this altitude much stronger. Billy Whiskers' Adventures The Wondership, then, was a combination of dirigible balloon, automobile and boat. The Boy Inventors' Radio Telephone The central sections of the envelope of the rear dirigible had been torn in shreds; it was buckling. The Last Shot British soldiers and marines lined up along the quays had rendered military honors as the vessel flying the Stars and Stripes, preceded by destroyers and accompanied by hydroplanes and dirigible balloons, steamed up the channel. Kelly Miller's History of the World War for Human Rights Something "smart" might be done in the way of a "dirigible balloon" species of angel! Our Stage and Its Critics By "E.F.S." of "The Westminster Gazette" While all this had been taking place, the dirigible was fast descending toward its home hangar and in a few minutes they would be down to the earth again. Billy Whiskers' Adventures Experts in aëronautics attribute the disasters befalling the long series of Zeppelins, the giant German dirigibles, to this cause. The Boy Inventors' Radio Telephone And, Lanny," he proceeded in boyish enthusiasm, using a slang word of military school days, "it was bulludgeous the way we brought down their planes and dirigibles! The Last Shot Then it is all swiftness and dexterity, for your craft is light, and, in expert hands, easily dirigible with one clever turn of the wrist. The New North See our conquest of the air—dirigibles, aeroplanes, hydroplanes and the like. Quit Your Worrying! He felt as if it were the dirigible that was standing still and the earth that was dropping from them. Billy Whiskers' Adventures On this thread he fastened a cardboard "cut-out" of a dirigible, not much to look at in daytime, but most deceptive at dusk. The Boy Mechanic: Volume 1 700 Things for Boys to Do The Gray dirigibles, stern on, were little larger than umbrellas and the planes than swallows; the Brown dirigibles, side on, were big sausages and their planes specks. The Last Shot The only submarines, or destroyers, or dirigibles that one saw were hers. My Year of the War Including an Account of Experiences with the Troops in France and the Record of a Visit to the Grand Fleet Which is Here Given for the First Time in its Complete Form Drifting along the cliff highway, which runs back of the fortifications that defend the port of San Francisco, you drop down past the dirigible hangar of the United States Army Flying Corps. Fascinating San Francisco But what surprised him most was to see lightning darting all around him and so near it seemed to go through the dirigible and come out the opposite side. Billy Whiskers' Adventures With but three minutes left and some distance to go, the great dirigible balloon got up speed and rushed for the goal. Stories of Inventors The Adventures of Inventors and Engineers Our dirigibles having command of the air—we had a wireless from one reporting all clear half-way to the Gray capital—why, we shall know their concentrations while they are ignorant of ours. The Last Shot ZEPPELIN, Ferdinand, manufacturer of wrecked dirigibles, and an aeronaut who knew how to land. Who Was Who: 5000 BC - 1914 Biographical Dictionary of the Famous and Those Who Wanted to Be Invention of the precedent elevates the trial-at-law from the low estate of a fortuitous ordeal to the noble attitude of a dirigible arbitrament. The Devil's Dictionary It was not as large as his combined aeroplane and dirigible balloon of which I have told you in other books, but it was of sufficient size to carry three persons besides other weight. Tom Swift and His Air Glider, or Seeking the Platinum Treasure "The motor of an aeroplane, or a dirigible balloon!" he exclaimed. Tom Swift and His Sky Racer, or, the Quickest Flight on Record "But our own planes and dirigibles bring little news," said Turcas. The Last Shot The combined aeroplane and dirigible balloon, a most wonderful traveler of the air, swung around, and then, with the deflection rudders slanted downward, came on with a rush. Tom Swift and His Submarine Boat, or, under the Ocean for Sunken Treasure In 1889 Commandant Renard, the eminent superintendent of the French Aeronautical Department, exhibited at the Paris Exposition of that year, an apparatus experimented with some years before, which he termed a "dirigible parachute." Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship The young inventor had it under nearly as good control as he had his dirigible balloons or aeroplanes. Tom Swift and His Air Glider, or Seeking the Platinum Treasure The fact that Germany was best prepared in the matter of heavier-than-air service machines in spite of the German faith in the dirigible is one more item of evidence as to who forced hostilities. A History of Aeronautics He wanted a sum appropriated for fortifications to be applied to building planes and dirigibles. The Last Shot But an actual trial of a dirigible craft, the design of Admiral Labrousse, was made from the Orleans railway station on January 9th. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation The relative value of the dirigible balloon and the aeroplane in actual war is yet to be determined. Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship If worst comes to worst, and we can't navigate as an aeroplane any more, we can even drift along as a dirigible. Tom Swift and His Air Glider, or Seeking the Platinum Treasure In spite of the development of the dirigible airship, there remains work for the free, spherical type of balloon in the scientific field. A History of Aeronautics "They certainly don't learn our plans with their planes and dirigibles!" he declared energetically. The Last Shot This unrivalled mechanician, after having made great advances in the direction of high speed engines of sufficient lightness, proceeded to design a vastly improved dirigible balloon, when his endeavours were frustrated by blindness. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation The dirigible is considered to be the safer, yet several large balloons of this class in Germany and France have met with disaster, involving loss of lives. Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship It was a combined dirigible balloon and aeroplane, and could be used as either, the necessary gas being made on board. Tom Swift and His Air Glider, or Seeking the Platinum Treasure The construction of the giant airships of to-day and the successful return flight of R34 across the Atlantic seem to point to the eventual triumph, in spite of its disadvantages, of the dirigible airship. A History of Aeronautics In the hush the faint sound of a dirigible's propeller high up in the heavens, muffled by the fog, was drowned by the Gray guns opening fire. The Last Shot It must be abundantly evident that, so far, no form of dirigible air ship exists which could be relied on to carry out any required manoeuvre in such atmospheric conditions as generally prevail. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation The capacity of the dirigible for longer flights and its superior facilities for carrying apparatus and operators for wireless telegraphy are distinct advantages. Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship Tom ran to the motor, and, at the same time the Falcon which was being used as an aeroplane and not as a dirigible, began to sink. Tom Swift and His Air Glider, or Seeking the Platinum Treasure The vessel was eventually taken over by the French Government and may be counted the first dirigible airship considered fit on its tests for military service. A History of Aeronautics "You will send our planes and dirigibles to bring down theirs!" The Last Shot His great contention was that the dirigible air ship would, like a bird, have to be made heavier than the medium in which it was to fly. The Dominion of the Air; the story of aerial navigation Difficulty of Control.—While the modern dirigible balloon is readily handled in calm or light winds, its bulk makes it difficult to control in heavy winds. Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship Railways, steamboats, electric motors, telephone and telegraph, automobiles, aeroplanes and dirigibles are conspicuous evidences of the application of science in life. Democracy and Education: an introduction to the philosophy of education A speed of 14 miles an hour was attained with this dirigible, which had a length of 165 feet, diameter of 27 feet, and capacity of 65,836 cubic feet of gas. A History of Aeronautics Driving toward the volcano's centre were many Brown dirigibles, slowing down as they approached. The Last Shot This is a dirigible submarine torpedo operated by electricity. Edison, His Life and Inventions Aeroplane.—A flying machine of the glider pattern, used in contra-distinction to a dirigible balloon. Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship Ever since the earliest days of the great conquest of the air, first by the dirigible balloon and then by the aeroplane, their use in time of war has been a fruitful theme for discussion. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War The dirigible with which this motor was used was of the conventional pointed-end type, with a length of 92 feet, diameter of 30 feet, and capacity of 37,440 cubic feet of gas. A History of Aeronautics Soon planes and other dirigibles flying over other positions were sending in word of the same tenor. The Last Shot With the dirigible travelling at about 20 miles an hour the major climbed over the car and seated himself in the parachute. The Mastery of the Air Great Initial Expense.—The modern dirigible balloon costs a fortune. Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship Consequently the aerial craft, whether it be a dirigible airship, or an aeroplane, can only be regarded from the military point of view. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War At the same time, he accomplished much in furthering and inciting experiment with dirigible airships, and he will always rank high among the pioneers of aerostation. A History of Aeronautics Near by was the distorted metal work of a dirigible, with the bodies of its crew burned beyond recognition, and farther away were other dirigible wrecks. The Last Shot During a voyage of several hours a dirigible naturally loses gas, and without some means of relieving her of weight she might have to descend in a hostile country. The Mastery of the Air Gas is indispensable in the operation of dirigible balloons, and gas is expensive. Flying Machines: construction and operation; a practical book which shows, in illustrations, working plans and text, how to build and navigate the modern airship The enthusiastic supporters of aerial navigation maintained that the dirigible and the aeroplane would supersede the captive balloon completely. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War Although Germany woke up equally late to the need for home produced aeroplane engines, the experience gained in building engines for dirigibles sufficed for the production of aeroplane power plants. A History of Aeronautics A returning Brown dirigible swept over the town. The Last Shot Hitherto we have traced the gradual development of the balloon right from the early days of aeronautics, when the brothers Montgolfier constructed their hot-air balloon, down to the most modern dirigible. The Mastery of the Air The experiments in adapting the balloon into the dirigible had, however, been left to the pioneers on the Continent. British Airships, Past, Present, and Future So he contemplated the perfection of a big dirigible, eclipsing in every respect anything ever attempted or likely to be attempted by rival countries. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War Practically all these vessels were discounted by the work of Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who set out from the first with the idea of constructing a rigid dirigible. A History of Aeronautics Not their dirigibles—not any power known to man can stop my men. The Last Shot Indeed, developments in both the dirigible airship and the aeroplane have taken place side by side. The Mastery of the Air The commercial uses of dirigible balloons, however, will be small, as they must remain housed when the wind aloft is brisk. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 It aroused considerable attention, as well it might, seeing that it eclipsed anything which had previously been attempted in connection with dirigibles. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War In considering the possibility of a commercial dirigible service, it is necessary always to bear in mind the disadvantages of first cost and upkeep as compared with the aeroplane. A History of Aeronautics Plane driven into plane dirigible into dirigible, and an end of bomb-dropping and scouting! The Last Shot Spencer Brothers claim to be the premier balloon manufacturers in the world, and, at the time of writing, eighteen balloons and two dirigibles lie in the works ready for use. The Mastery of the Air Thus the principles which govern the design of the dirigible balloon may be said to have been evolved. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 The airship was moored upon a raft which was to be towed out into the lake to enable the dirigible to ascend. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War This airship, which was named 'Dupuy de Lome,' may be ranked as about the most successful non-rigid dirigible constructed prior to the War. A History of Aeronautics An open mind that let you have your way in equipping more dirigibles and planes than Westerling guesses we have, eh? The Last Shot It was able to lift only one person of light weight, and was thus a great contrast to the modern dirigible which carries a crew of thirty or forty people. The Mastery of the Air The sizes will be great and costly, the loads small, and the craft frail and short-lived, yet dirigible balloons constitute the obvious type for governments to evolve, until they are superseded by efficient flying machines. The Project Gutenberg Encyclopedia Volume 1 of 28 The Zeppelin dirigible has come to be generally regarded as the one and only form of practical lighter-than-air type of aircraft. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War The lifting force was too great for the weight, and the dirigible jumped immediately to 1,500 feet. A History of Aeronautics One life for a number of lives—the sacrifice of a single aeroplane for a costly dirigible—that was an exchange in favor of the Browns. The Last Shot The German Government, which had watched the Count's progress with great interest, offered to buy his invention outright if he succeeded in remaining aloft in one of his dirigibles for twenty-four hours. The Mastery of the Air Dupuy de Lôme's first experiments only dated from the siege days, and Renard's dirigible was not devised until the early eighties. My Days of Adventure The Fall of France, 1870-71 Moreover, the French military authorities evinced a certain disposition to relegate the dirigible to a minor position, convinced that it had been superseded by the heavier-than-air machine. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War A descent was successfully accomplished and the dirigible was anchored for the night, but a gale caused it so much damage that it had to be broken up. A History of Aeronautics An aeroplane following the dirigible as a screen, hoping to get home with information if the dirigible were lost, had escaped the sharpshooters in the church tower by flying around the town. The Last Shot In shape a Zeppelin dirigible resembled a gigantic cigar, pointed at both ends. The Mastery of the Air That was a big thing for Germany; already supreme with her dirigibles, the acquisition of the Huysman stabilizator promised her ten years' lead over the world in the field of aeroplanes…. The Lone Wolf A Melodrama This end appears to be achieved with the Astra type of dirigible, the story of the development of which offers an interesting chapter in the annals of aeronautics. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War In 1909, Willows steered one of his dirigibles to London from Cardiff in a little less than ten hours, making an average speed of over 14 miles an hour. A History of Aeronautics Two Gray dirigibles with their escort of aeroplanes—in formation like that which Mrs. Galland and Feller had seen race along the frontier—were bearing toward the pass over the pass road. The Last Shot As the rigid type of dirigible is chiefly advocated in Germany, so the semi-rigid craft is most popular in France. The Mastery of the Air Germany had long before developed the greatest fleet of dirigible balloons in existence, preferring them to every other type of flying apparatus. The Second Deluge The Astra-Torres type of dirigible may be said to represent the latest expression in airship design and construction. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War Three years later he built a second dirigible, reducing the diameter and increasing the length of the gas envelope, with a view to reducing air resistance. A History of Aeronautics From a great altitude, literally out of the blue of heaven, high over the Gray lines, Marta made out a Brown squadron of dirigibles and planes descending across the track of the Grays. The Last Shot The whole vessel is not as symmetrical as a Zeppelin dirigible, but its inventors claim that the sharp prow facilitates the steady displacement of the air during flight. The Mastery of the Air Do you know," he asked, "how long a dirigible can be kept afloat? The Second Deluge The result proved that a dirigible of the most powerful type could be completed within eight weeks and forthwith the various constructional establishments were brought into line so as to maintain this rate of building. Aeroplanes and Dirigibles of War The plans were thoroughly worked out, down to the last detail, but the dirigible was never constructed. A History of Aeronautics For the time being he had no more interest in the knoll than in the wreckage of dirigibles which were down and out of the fight. The Last Shot |
