USS Shenandoah: On September 3, 1925 the 680 foot rigid Navy airship encountered a severe storm and crashed into the ground in Ava, Ohio. It was the first USN zeppelin type lighter than air craft used by the naval forces and her overall lift was decreased when the navy switched from hydrogen to helium after the Hindenburg disaster. The airship program continued into the 1930s but most of the craft were not practical for recon efforts especially in bad weather. Cover franked with 4 cent Naval Aviation stamp on a 55 cent flag stamp. Seller has covers for all of the USN airships, USS Akron, USS Macon. Two Goodyear Blimps and the new (2023) LTA Pathfinder 1 airship, plus 2015 JLENS Aerostat. Check out my other items!
