About this book

Blimps & U-Boats: U.S. Navy Airships in the Battle of the Atlantic by Vaeth, J. Gordon. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781557508768.

Vaeth, an airship officer, historian, and a much-published airship author, details the construction, operations, and war time action of the blimps (named, by one story, for the sound made when one strikes an inflated envelope with a finger). While no submarine kills were confirmed, the blimps were an exceedingly effective deterrent, keeping U-boats submerged and inactive by their presence. An appendix covers the quieter US west coast.
