Hello Gang,
            I just purchased two book published within the past year
from AMAZON.COM concerning the Airship flap of 1896-1898 over the United
States. Namely:
"Solving the 1897 Airship Mystery" by Michael Busby; and "The Great
Texas Airship Mystery" by Wallace Chariton; et al.

Busby's book claims that a real life group of "Roburs" were conducting
experiments with airships during this period of sightings. Here is a
book review of Busby's book:

and the Chariton book:http://www.elfis.net/elfol5/e5aa.html and
http://authors.booksunderreview.com/C/Chariton/ (Go towards Middle of
Page).

There is something very entertaining about a mystery that overlaps the
fiction of your youth. I await these books with great anticipation.
