Here is a link to the website for the young adult fiction ATL of Airborn by Kenneth Oppel. Since I'm reading the book right now I can identify a few things that are different and luckily I read the interview with the author to figure out an important point.
The time is the early or mid 20th century, most likely the 1930-50s there is no indication of a Great War or Second World War yet. There appears to be a British Empire, know here as the Angleterre. There is mention of Kanada and the American colonies. The Aurora, the passenger airship upon which the story is set with 15 year old Matt Cruse as the hero, plies the airways between Sydney and Lionsgate City, OTL Vancouver.
The last bit, Lionsgate City, certainly had me guessing for a while, however its important to keep in mind that this AH is from a Canadian point of view.

One can't help thinking about the world of Oswald Bastable in The Warlord of the Air.
