People - Airship Heritage Trust

Discover the stories of the people behind the airships in our growing database of crew members and remarkable individuals who served in the airship service or flew aboard, along with other notible people associated with the great airships. We’re continually adding more details to bring each person’s history to life.

This collection has been made possible thanks to the research of Jane Harvey, whose British Airship People website laid the foundations for much of what you’ll find here.

If you have additional details about any of the crew members or can help fill in missing information, we’d love to hear from you. We’ll make sure the records are updated so their stories can be shared more fully.

You can search by name or choose a specific airship to explore its crew and their stories.
