Anmerkungen
Attractive lot w. a variety of mainly American airships from the 1920s-1930s, showing the construction, interiors and exteriors, i.a. "Akron" and sistership "Macon", "Baby Blimp", "City of Glendale", "Goodyear Blimp", "Graf Zeppelin", "Los Angeles", "LZ 120" and "TC13 Army Blimp". The "Akron" crashed during a thunderstorm in the sea near New Jersey in 1933. Out of the 76 crew members and passengers, only three survived. A year later, sistership "Macon" suffered the same fate by crashing into the sea near the Californian coast, sinking in Monterey Bay. SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE XLV.
