The first of the 70s "blimp trilogy", which also included Black Sunday and The Hindenburg. This one is set during WWI, with Michael York a British spy sent to Germany to learn the secrets of the new airships. An experimental flight turns into a mission to destroy a stash of priceless English cultural artifacts hidden at a remote Scottish castle. York must try to stop them while keeping his cover. The plot is a bit convoluted and the special effects are not always convincing, but I can't say I wasn't entertained.
