I am halfway into this non-fiction history book about the socialist government that built the worlds largest airship without any experienced designers or workers. It was two years behind schedule, of course, and 20 tons over weight and could barely fly. So they launched from London to India before the testing was done into a 50mph storm. Unbelievable.
