Zen, Zeppelins, Zeros and Howard Hughes

ZEPPELINS: High Altitude Warships A website by someone called "the Wanderling." Zen and Zeppelins and lots of interesting things I had never heard before. There's the mysterious "Harry the Man" who developed the high altitude breathing apparatus with which Howard Hughes set the transcontinental speed record the second time, the Zeppelin L-70 a German "height climber" airship intended to bomb New York in World War I, and Charles Howard, the secret identity Howard Hughes used when he worked for American Airlines.
