Day Of The Dirigible

Last week we went back to the future through the mid-20th century visions of the American illustrator, Art Radebaugh. This week, The Atlantic staff writer, Megan Garber, has posted a fine article on the dirigible. Though short on copy, the post has some terrific illustrations of both the reality and fantasy that these rigid airships brought to the national experience. There's no doubt that given the appropriate technology, at some future time we will enjoy the scale and luxury that these vehicles envisioned. Be sure to follow up on the airship website Garber mentions. Readers may find the comments enjoyable as well.
