The Navy's tests so far have been entirely successful; all flights are made with the greatest caution and care. But there is no lack of ambitious work to come. Collection of data for the purposes of commercial airship navigation, flights to the North Pole, trips around the world, the surveying of hitherto inaccessible regions are in store for the airship skipper and his lucky crew...
