This is a normal post What I've long loved about airships
is that there was so much evidence that they were a really bad idea, yet they poured the most amazing amount of time and effort into them. So many attempts didn't even manage to get out of a hangar or make a maiden flight intact.

They were a really good idea, until the aeroplane was properly developed. Then they were redundant.

Only because they were so slow and expensive. The sort of person who could afford to travel on one was not going to put up with Ryanair service for the four days or so it would cost to cross the Atlantic.
