Posting photos of my airship air mail postal covers. They include a cover carried by the Hindenburg, one from the flight from Germany in the dirigible that would become USS Los Angeles, a cover and stamps from Condor Syndicate dirigible flight in South America, and a Goodyear blimp experimental mail flight cover. I'm in the process of getting a difficult to find R100 cover.
Im making a RC zeppelin is my first time and i want to know if it is easier to build a Blimp or a Zeppelin for now the concept is a rigid airship using balsa wood and using the lightes electronics i could find but i want to know if a Blimp would be easier to build and operate take in count im a noobie AND thst the gas used is helium so the weight margin is kinda tight(sorrry for the bad english i speak spanish)
The greatest airship commander and the greatest airship. They're from the Lighter Than Air Deck, which is launching on Kickstarter October 20th. You can sign up at AirshipAdvocate.com/cards to be notified.
These little vignettes have a certain quirky charm, don’t they? The main classes Goodyear wanted to implement were Deluxe, Pullman, and Economy—with 112-288 passengers depending on the balance between the three classes.
Ultimately, with World War II upending the world and the dawning of the Jet Age, Goodyear President Paul Litchfield never managed to drum up enough interest to make the American passenger rigid airship a reality.
