Fatal Flight brings vividly to life the dramatic year of operation of R-101, the last great British airship. A luxury liner three and a half times the length of a 747 jet, with a spacious lounge, a dining room that seated fifty, glass-walled promenade decks, and a smoking room. The British expected R-101 to spearhead a fleet of imperial airships that would dominate the skies as British naval ships a century earlier had ruled the seas. The dream ended when, on its demonstration flight to India, R-101 crashed in France, tragically killing nearly all aboard.
