Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. History is a set of lies agreed upon (N Bonaparte). Arctic Airships Part 1: The Eagle. For the older or less sporty explorer, worried about his ability to manhaul stupidly heavy sledges over unstable icefields in the pursuit of science/immortality, floating over the North Pole in a dirigible seemed like an excellent notion. Luckily for them, the Arctic air-race provided as much opportunity for pointless tragedy as the land-race famously did. Was a 20 metre...

Wherever possible, I matched the date of the eyewitness account to its 200th anniversary to give the reader as much of a connection with the participants as possible.
