  2. Which is why weather Satelites were a great lifesaving invention.

  3. @Tangerine Sky333 So are Cessnas...

  4. They have pluses. Long range and duration. Better speed than ships.

  5. Pure fiction.

  6. I suggested that one a few weeks ago.

  7. Yet fixed wing planes of the time were not any better or safer.

  9.  @MFKR696  The airships were no more "baby killers" than any other weapons system. And arguments over the Texas vs Arizona was pointless. And wtf is the deal with your flag?

  10.  @MFKR696  Yes, Canada. The land of great distress.... 🤔

  11. Hanger number One still exists at NAS Lakehurst. Visited it once doing work at the base. It is huge!

  13.  @OleGeezerCirca1941  Everybody else understood what a blimp was. He described rigid and non rigid airships enough for the topic. The background on lighter than air use is kindof a bonus.

  14.  @TheHistoryGuyChannel  Would it be more accurate to say that was the last straw? He had been a thorn to the Army & Navy for a while.

  15. No difference. Same time this going on, the Naval Treaty of 1922 is signed.

  16. Your question is kind of fuzy. You can go all the way back to George Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion. As for second, the Civil War is the prime example.

  18.  @johnsullivan8302  Slaughter? Two died. Two. More die of Heroin in a weekend here.

  19.  @TheOwenMajor  Only in structure. Goodyear built both types.

  20.  @phil4826  Blimps fly today using the same principles. With a safety record better than the 747.

  21.  @MrChainsawAardvark  Yet those negatives are why Blimps have a role in advertising and tv. Helicopters can not hover for hours. Planes fly too fast for marketing.

  22. Only nit pick? No chance to go deeper into Akron and Macon and how they were flying aircraft carriers.

  23. Flying by far over bombs.

  24.  @michrain5872  You need to consider Aircraft tech pre 1930. LTA was at its peak.

  25. Bit unfair comment. Nobody, build any of these cheap or shoddy.

  27. Short answer? YES. Fixed wings use V. Choppers use H. Airships used Z.
