King of the Air: Or To Morocco On An Airship is a novel written by Herbert Strang and first published in 1908. The story is set in the early 20th century and follows the adventures of a group of British explorers who embark on a daring mission to fly an airship to Morocco. The main character, Dick Hargrave, is a young man who is passionate about aviation and dreams of flying an airship across the world. When he meets an eccentric inventor named Professor Redmayne, who has built a revolutionary airship, Dick sees his chance to make his dream a reality. Along with a team of experts, including a navigator, mechanic, and cook, the group sets off on their journey to Morocco. However, their trip is not without danger and they face several challenges along the way, including harsh weather conditions, mechanical failures, and attacks from bandits. The novel is a thrilling adventure story that captures the excitement and wonder of early aviation and exploration. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the cultural and political landscape of Morocco at the time. King of the Air is a classic work of fiction that will appeal to anyone interested in aviation, adventure, and history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
