Beautiful New Book: “AIRSHIPS: Designed for Greatness”

AIRSHIPS: Designed for Greatness showcases the beautiful illustrations of the very talented Italian artist Max Pinucci. Max created detailed, accurate, and beautiful illustrations of the world’s most famous airships, along with infographics explaining airship routes, performance, dimensions, and more. I am very proud to be one of the co-authors of the text in this stunningly beautiful book.
