...first crew. Lieut.-Commander Herbert V. Wiley, Akron survivor, was his pupil. When the Shenandoah broke from her moorings in a 70-mi, gale with 21 men aboard, it was Capt. Heinen who brought her back, damaged but whole. His contract expired in 1924 and he left Navy employ following bitter controversies with high officers over airship practice. Three years ago he formed a company to build and sell "air yachts" (four-passenger blimps) for $10,000 each. The scheme failed. Currently he lives at Lakewood, N. J., frequently breaks into print as an oracle on airship matters. Last week...
Perhaps Mr. Thomas was exploiting his hens. Perhaps he was making them work overtime for his wife's tea room in New York.

(The Babbitt Warren, p. 143; Harper...

Out of Navy employ, he formed a company three years ago in Atlantic City, N. J. to build and sell "air yachts" (small blimps) for $10,000 each (TIME, Nov. 3, 1930). He built & flew one, for demonstration, made no sales. Next week the demonstration ship (104-ft. long, four passenger) will be auctioned in Atlantic City to satisfy a claim...
