From Wikipedia.
Four of these rigid airships crashed, putting an end to the experiment.
They were:
ZMC-2: a metal-clad airship that operated 1929-1941
ZR-1: Shenandoah operated 1923-1925 before crashing in a storm.
ZR-2 (R-38): 1921, crashed
ZR-3: Los Angeles-- 1924-1939 decommissioned and dismantled.
ZRS-4: Akron-- aircraft carrier 1931-1933. Lost in storm. These two airships carried five F9C biplanes.
ZRS-5: Macon-- aircraft carrier 1933-1935-- lost in bad weather.
So Much for Rigid Airships. --RoadDog
RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
