| Summary | "The Story of the Airship (Non-rigid)" by Hugh Allen is a historical account written in the early 1940s. The book explores the role and development of non-rigid airships in the context of American defense, particularly during World War I and the period leading up to World War II. It likely appeals to readers interested in military history, aerospace technology, and the evolution of aviation. The opening of the work details the dedication to notable figures associated with airship development and introduces the foreword, which sets the stage for the narrative. It illustrates the strategic importance of non-rigid airships, often referred to as "blimps," in national defense, specifically their potential use in patrolling coastal waters against submarines during times of conflict. The text highlights historical instances, such as the German U-boat operations off the American coast during World War I, to underline the relevance of airships in safeguarding maritime routes, demonstrating how innovations in airship design and operation are explored throughout the book.
