He covers the years 1896 thru 1897, though from a distinctly Texas perspective. There is a single chapter devoted to airship activity in California in 1896 (with contemporary sources) with various other events around the country examined as part of a more general narrative. Busby does make a consistent effort to correlate his account with period newspaper and other contemporary source material, which adds a good deal of plausibility IMO.<br /><br />Available from Amazon in hardcover only, and $25 might be excessive for what would amount to some added backstory for your purposes I'm assuming; still, link below ... <br /><br />https://smile.amazon.com/Solving-Airship-Mystery-Michael-Busby/dp/1589801253/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1513032763&sr=1-1&keywords=solving+the+1897+airship+mystery+michael+busby Will Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13454533450309633627noreply@blogger.com
