Tony, several years ago I discovered an excellent book from 1936 on the commercial transportation dirigible fueling application and, as you would expect, found it to be a riveting read. The title is Zepplin Inflation Cost Reduction Utilizing Odiferous Zephyr Sufferers En Masse. It was co-authored by gastroenterologists Dr. Oma Bowles-Hert and Dr. Lotta Teutin, with Dutch aeronautics engineer Arye Buss. I'll mail it to you.

@jkuvakas I look forward to the audiobook versions of both.
JK; it's your decision of course but I would stay away from the versions with the "scratch and sniff" feature.

@100ford2003 Ah...you have triggered a memory. As a very likely subscriber, you may have read my letter to a "particular" magazine a few years ago about that "teacher's pet" subject. It started off by me writing "While attending a small Canadian Elementary school for twelve years my grade 7 teacher, a tightly wound spinster, began to comment that my 5 o'clock shadow was becoming. Before long she suggested, in a husky voice, that I might benefit from her offer of advanced tutoring on my Guzindas. Being just 18 and wanting to graduate my Grade 7; I was impressed by her dedication to my scholastic progress and enthusiastically agreed to her offer". Let's just leave it there shall we...?
Here is my graduation picture:
