THE MILLIONTH CHANCE

by James Leasor ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 11, 1958

Britain's superior airship, the R. 101, crashed and burned in in 1930 -- a proof-by the author's dossier-that politics and experiments in aircrafts would not mix. The mild tests were inconclusive, the accidents were unfortunate, the new ideas incorporated added to her overload. This holds the brief that neither faulty construction nor bad design was the cause of her crash; that full trials and time for modifications could have saved her.
