His Majesty’s Airship: The Life and Tragic Death of the World’s Largest Flying Machine—Samuel C. Gwynne (New York, NY, USA: Scribner, 2003, 299 pp.)
Stories of technological hubris and its dire consequences have an unfailing attraction. The Greek myth of Dedalus and Icarus is a paradigm for historians of technology as powerful as that of Oedipus is for Freudian psychoanalysis. Father and son, Dedalus and Icarus, are held prisoners in a labyrinth on the Island of Crete. Determined to escape, they choose a route through the air and so create wings made of willow branches, connecting them together and to themselves with wax. The father warns his son not to fly too close to the sun. The youth ignores the warning, his wax melts, and he drowns in the ocean.
