His Majesty's Airship

My post-Christmas reading was devoted to S.C. Wynne’s book of this title and I’m sure I am not alone. My understanding of the R 101 airship saga is based mainly on Peter Masefield’s 1982 book “To Ride the Storm” and Wynne gives credit to author and book, but it is harder to accept his view that Barnes Wallis and Nevil Shute were intensely prejudiced against R.101 leading to them making untrue statements about it.

Nevertheless it is an interesting book.
