Zeppelin: The Story of a Great Achievement
by Harry Vissering
About the author
Best known for Zeppelin: The Story of a Great Achievement, Harry Vissering wrote about one of the most dramatic chapters in early aviation. The book was first published in 1922 and focuses on Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin and the development of the Zeppelin airships.
Sources available in this search describe him as director of the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation, which helps explain the strong technical interest and industry perspective in his writing. In the book's opening material, he also notes receiving information from Luftschiffbau-Zeppelin, giving the work the feel of a contemporary account shaped by people close to the subject.
Although biographical details about his personal life were limited in the material I could confirm, his writing remains a useful window into the excitement surrounding early lighter-than-air travel. For readers drawn to aviation history, his work captures a moment when airships seemed to promise a new future in flight.
