s.c. gwynne: a nice combination of all of them, airships as it turns out were competing with airplanes in the early century, starting in the first decade. nobody really knew what was going to be the future of aviation back then. both of them crashed all of the time. the problem with airships as we will see as we talk today is that there was a fundamentally flawed idea that essentially 40 years to play out completely, the airplanes crashed all of the time in the early days and they were fundamentally sound that could be improved. part of what i am riding about is the two -- writing about, it is the focus of all of this effort to persuade people that airships were the way to go. >> a good time to explain the difference between a hot air balloon, a blimp, or a hot air n airship? s.c. gwynne: yes, go back to the 18th century when balloons were invented, they did an astonishing thing, they went up and nothing else would go up. it would go wherever the wind wanted it to go. that is a problem. in

s.c. gwynne: he is the man who drove the thing that we call the empire or the imperial airship scheme. what that idea was when britain came out of world war i they had the largest empire in human history. their empire was a little wobbly and they were looking for ways to kind of reestablish their empire, establish a technological supremacy. they came up with this idea that given that their empire stretched from sydney, australia, to toronto, egypt, india, there were going to connect these far-flung places -- they were going to connect these far-flung places with rigid airships. all of these airships flying around all of the time and connecting up the empire. more important, what does airships were going to do was to reduce the travel time from australia to london from a month to 11 days, to india from 11 days to four days. to canada in two point five days. it is a radical thing, the man who drove, getting back to birdwood thompson who was the secretary of state for air, a wonderful title i

s.c. gwynne: yes, go back to the 18th century when balloons were invented, they did an astonishing thing, they went up and nothing else would go up. it would go wherever the wind wanted it to go. that is a problem. in the 19th century, a frenchman solved the problem, by putting a motor with a propeller and a rudder onto a balloon edited to demonstrate how it worked by flying so many miles from paris and turning around and coming back and it was the french verb to direct or to steer is something that was -- you could steer or direct with, dirgible. the problem with balloons was that they were an envelope filled with gas and they at some point inside it would collapse upon themselves and you could not lift very much with them. 1900, marvelous german military man, military lifer and inventor invented something called a rigid airship. a rigid airship had a skeleton, so that it could hold inside of the skeleton a lawn of hydrogen -- a lot of hydrogen filled gas bags. you could suddenly lift way
