Peter W. Brooks. Zeppelin : Rigid Airships, 1893–1940. UK publication: Putnam Aeronautical Books (Conway Maritime Press Ltd); US: Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington DC.
Goes into detail about David Schwartz's rigid airship design and aluminum supply by Carl Berg.
A compact and self-contained episode in the history of human transport, this is a story that spans almost exactly forty years, providing an unusual 'case history' in the evolution of technology. (7)
In Brooks's assessment this type of airship ultimately didn't succeed because it was too big and therefore expensive and unwieldy.
