Review:
"Lighter-than-air non-rigid craft (or “blimps”) were responsible for a good part of anti-submarine actions in World War I. Guarding western approaches, SS-Class (Submarine Scout or Sea Scout) airships operating from Royal Naval Air Service stations patrolled the Irish coast searching for U-boats and escorting Allied naval vessels safely into harbor. Airships Over Ulster gives details of these patrols from the first military aviation facility in Ulster, on the eastern coast of northern Ireland. The text includes personal stories of crews involved, photos and technical particulars of the airships, as well as tips on how to fly one (which raises the question: why is no one in the army of replica builders out there working on an SS-Class Airship?). The new edition of this monograph is an important contribution to collecting regional histories. It is recommended." (Over the Front)
