Harold Dick was the American representative of the Goodyear-Zeppelin
joint venture, and he lived and worked at Friedrichshafen and aboard the
Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg. Dick was given full access to the operations
of the German Zeppelin company, and he flew as a passenger and/or crew
member on 22 transatlantic flights aboard the Graf Zeppelin and Hindenburg.
His observations about the German passenger zeppelins are fascinating,
and he provides a rare personal insight, from an American perspective,
on airship captains Hugo Eckener, Ernst Lehmann, and Max Pruss. Dick also
provides a wealth of technical details on zeppelin construction and operation
which are not available anywhere else.
